Public bug reported: # Description In /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/gnutls.pc installed by libgnutls-dev :
Libs.private is used by pkg-config to give link flags when using the "-- static" option. So Libs.private should contains internal libs used by gnutls to allow user to link statically with gnutls. If there is a direct link to a .so file, it's break static compilation. The direct path to libz.so should be replace by "-lz" # Ubuntu version Ubuntu 16.04, 16.10 ** Affects: gnutls28 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1660915 Title: gnutls.pc should not directly link to libz.so in Libs.private To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnutls28/+bug/1660915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
