In short:
- First try the relibtoolize approach.
- Avoid custom *-config tools.
- If your package uses pkg-config, and you get unnecessary dependencies,
check the used *.pc files if they have to be fixed (using
Requires.private/Libs.private) and notify the maintainer of the
corresponding lib.
- If everything else fails, use --as-needed.
Cheers,
Michael
