Correct so far? yes if you distribute the static version of Nexus library and it seems that you are providing them. Usually it is better to not distribute .a files. you need indeed to use the Requires.private: for this static part. so if you remove the static version of nexus you do not need the -dev part. > hdf4 doesn't seen to come with a .pc file.

You should fill a bug against hdf4 which should provide a .pc file. > I'll play around with the a little more before the next upload.
