[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#373982: libasound2-dev: alsa.pc's Libs shouldn't contain -lm -ldl -lpthread

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: libasound2-dev
Version: 1.0.11-3
Severity: minor

Hi,

There are spurious dependencies in alsa.pc:

alsa.pc:Libs: -L${libdir} -lasound -lm -ldl -lpthread

-lm -ldl -lpthread are _not_ needed in Libs (since the alsa interface
doesn't depend on libm, libdl or libpthread interface) and just bring
unneeded dependencies. These should rather be put in Libs.private:

Libs: -L${libdir} -lasound
Libs.private: -lm -ldl -lpthread

so that static compiling works.

Samuel
