From d89fca062ba966332b573673fdd5c4cf01c3e2f5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2014 15:32:08 +0100 Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Add Libs.private field to libnftnl.pc Static linking userspace programs such as nftables against libnftnl currently doesn't work out of the box, because libnftnl is linked against libmnl, but this isn't expressed in libnftnl pkg-config file: CCLD nft [...]/bfin-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc/sysroot/usr/lib/libnftnl.a(table.o): In function `_nft_table_nlmsg_parse': table.c:(.text+0x480): undefined reference to `_mnl_attr_parse' table.c:(.text+0x492): undefined reference to `_mnl_attr_get_str' table.c:(.text+0x4a8): undefined reference to `_mnl_attr_get_u32' table.c:(.text+0x4ca): undefined reference to `_mnl_attr_get_u32' [...] The Libs.private field is specifically designed for such usage: From pkg-config documentation: Libs.private: This line should list any private libraries in use. Private libraries are libraries which are not exposed through your library, but are needed in the case of static linking. Therefore, this patch adds a reference to libmnl in the Libs.private field of libnftnl pkg-config file.
