Bug#802786: libsigc++-2.0-dev: c++ only option in cflags

[Bernd Zeimetz]

Package: libsigc++-2.0-dev
Version: 2.6.1-3
Seveirity: grave

hi,

sigc++-2.0.pc has -std=c++11 in the Cflags option - but -std= is a
c++ compiler only option. So packages which depend on your library
(for example packages using gtkmm) ftbfs trying to compile their C
code with

cc1: error: command line option '-std=c++11' is valid for C++/ObjC++ but 
not for C [-Werror]

Removing -std=c++11 from your .pc files makes these packages build
again.
I can see that there is a problem to require -std=c++11 while
pkg-config only provides Cflags as an option. But putting flags
gcc whines about into Cflags is not an option unfortunately.
Thats what cxxflags are for - which are not supported by pkg-config
unfortunately as far as I can see.

thanks,

Bernd
