[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#396416: libxml2-dev: libxml2.la leaves out dependencies on -lz -lm

[Tom Epperly]

Package: libxml2-dev
Version: 2.6.26.dfsg-4
Severity: normal


Because libxml2.la doesn't list dependencies on -lz and -lm, the following
compilation fails.  A libxml2 that I built myself has in its libxml2.la
the following two lines (not including the indentation):
	# Libraries that this one depends upon.
	dependency_libs=' -lpthread -lz -lm'
The libxml2.la that Debian ships has:
	# Libraries that this one depends upon.
	dependency_libs=''



make[4]: `libClient.la' is up to date.
