Bug#297753: broken glib modules la files

Sat, 23 Apr 2005 11:31:15 +0200

package libglib2.0-dev
merge 297741 297753
quit

please also fix gmodule, glib and gobject (and the already
reported gthread).

I really do not understand why the static name is missing from
those files .... the source packages ship with them defined
properly. I don't care about the modules, i only need glib though
the problem must be related :)

The only workaround is to disable libtool in my project (which is
a /sbin binary called before /usr is available) and ship with a
hardcoded link string of 10 lines. I expect it to break quite
often and on most archs .

The other way is to recode part of the glib datatypes ... that
looks like reinventing the wheel with more holes and security
issues !

Well regarding the comment in the debian readme maybe reenabling
static for gmodule is a bad idea. Is this the rationale behind the
current breakage ?

I really need to know if this will be fixed in sarge. If this is
not planned please don't pay attention to my request. the project
is for ubuntu and debian system.

Alban
