Hi - I've just applied the attached patch to libsynce in Ubuntu to empty out the dependency_libs field in the libtool .la file being shipped in the -dev package. This is generally a good idea because it avoids causing consumers of your library to require the .la files listed to be available when they're not actually needed (i.e., in the common case of dynamic linking). It will also causing problems in the near future because multiarch is landing soon, which will cause the .la files referenced by libsynce to move, which would cause build failures for anything linking against libsynce. The changelog entry for this upload in Ubuntu is: * Rebuild to pick up multiarch changes. * Clean .la files. Thanks for considering the patch. - Evan -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers maverick-updates APT policy: (500, 'maverick-updates'), (500, 'maverick-security'), (500, 'maverick') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.35-24-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash
