KDE uses them and libtool records library dependency information into them = =2D=20 and if prefers .la over -lfoo when doing so, i.e. if somebody compiles a pa= rt=20 of KDE that uses libvorbis or libogg (like audio/arts), the respective=20 libtool archive will have a DEPENDENCY_LIBS line that, for example,=20 contains /usr/local/lib/libvorbisenc.la. Now if somebody compiles another part of KDE that depends on that previous= =20 part (like kdemultimedia which links in arts parts) and the libtool archive= =20 is suddenly missing, the build will fail because libtool can't link. The only remedy in that case is to recompile arts ... so if you plan to nuk= e=20 the libtool archives from libvorbis and libogg again, please give me a head= s=20 up before doing so - I'll preemptively bump PORTREVISION for affected parts= =20 of KDE then. =2D-=20 ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | lofi@freebsd.org (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org --nextPart1695799.MsYoMaL28U Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBBwGiMXhc68WspdLARAhYxAJ0TUBhgqVqX7OIzkHE6er8hd4a8kgCfdP2O 9gRQCkwyq+9h55nb8hgjZWA= =1LHd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart1695799.MsYoMaL28U--
