libtool pulls in libstdc++ for cairo and thus gtk+, this is problematic for g-i.
Hi Kurt, ...
We are here at the extremadura graphical installer meeting, working on the new
2.8.10 based gtk-directfb, and i am working on library reduction for making the
ramdisk image smaller. I thus noticed that cairo and thus gtk-directfb is
linked against libstdc++, but cairo is absolutely not using c++ at all.
I have traced the provenance of libstdc++ to libtool containing :
libtool:postdeps="-lstdc++ -lm -lgcc_s -lc -lgcc_s"
which seems strange to me, i have absolutely no idea where it comes from, and
since libtool is generated by ltmain.sh, and ltmain.sh has absolutely no
instance of a stdc++ string, so i am trully lost.
Maybe you have some insight which would help me advance on this, or some idea
how to fix this ?
It seems that this behavior did change somewhen prior to christmas, so
probably in version 1.5.22-1.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
