Bug#375812: libart-2.0-dev: libart2-config --libs shouldn't include -lm

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: libart-2.0-dev
Version: 2.3.17-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

There is a spurious dependency in the output of libart2-config --libs:

-L/usr/lib -lart_lgpl_2 -lm

-lm is _not_ needed in --libs (since the art2 _interface_ doesn't need
-lm functions) and just bring an unneeded dependency. It should be used
only for linking libart_lgpl_2.so itself, and put in libart2-config
--libs --static (for static linking).
