>Description:
I tried to statically link an app against libglib, and it failed due to
unresolved dependencies from libintl. Looking at glib's installed .pc
file, I see:
% egrep ^Libs /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0 -lintl
Libs.private: -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre -liconv
Indeed, no -lintl there.
The port's Makefile explicitly adds -lintl to LDFLAGS, and this appears
to cause configure to decide the gettext API is available without any
additional -l flags. If I remove the the explicit -lintl then the
configure script determines that it's necessary, and adds it to the .pc
file:
% egrep ^Libs /usr/local/libdata/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
Libs: -L${libdir} -lglib-2.0 -lintl
Libs.private: -pthread -L/usr/local/lib -lpcre -lintl -liconv
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to statically link using $(pkg-config --static --libs glib-2.0)
