Package: libfontconfig1-dev Version: 2.5.0-2 Severity: normal Hi,
The command pkg-config fontconfig --libs --static yields only "-lfontconfig -lexpat" when it should additionally include "-lfreetype". This is because the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/fontconfig.pc is missing a "Requires:" line. (Or perhaps it should be Requires.private - I am not sure.) This problem also breaks autoconf files that use PKG_CHECK_MODULES to find dependencies for libcairo also; This is because the link order of freetype and fontconfig is not correctly specified. Therefore fixing this bug will enable correct static linking against libcairo. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libfontconfig1-dev depends on: ii libexpat1-dev 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - developmen ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libfreetype6-dev 2.3.5-1+b1 FreeType 2 font engine, developmen ii pkg-config 0.22-1 manage compile and link flags for libfontconfig1-dev recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
