No .la files in gstreamer package?
by xflow7 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#53HXZ)
Hi,
I'm trying to compile/install webkitgtk usin sbopkg on current.
The compile is getting tripped up here:
Code:/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libgstbase-1.0.la: No such file or directory
libtool: error: '/usr/lib64/libgstbase-1.0.la' is not a valid libtool archiveand indeed there is no file /usr/lib64/libgstbase-1.0.la.
Looking in the Slackbuild for gstreamer, I see that there are these lines right before tar-ing up the package:
Code:# Don't ship .la files:
rm -f $PKG/{,usr/}lib${LIBDIRSUFFIX}/*.laI can comment that out and rebuild, but I'm curious what the rationale is to not package the *.la files? They seem to be included in many other official Slackware packages.
Thanks,
Dave
