This has been discussed before. Either remove the .la files and fix
the pkgconfig files to reference devel packages dependencies,
The problem is that some software expects libtool (.la) to be used and
doesn't
support pkgconfig, or chooses libtool before looking for pkgconfig.
or fix the .la files themselves.
As I mentioned, we can't just "fix" the .la's as .la files get versions
of non-package files
hard-coded in them
Example: libsndfile requires libogg
libsndfile.la gets the path to current /package/.../libogg-3.0.4/...
hard coded into it.
The libogg package gets updated to 3.1.0
libsndfile .la being incorrect (pointing to
/package/.../libogg-3.0.4/... when 3.0.4 is no
longer installed) means packages using libsndfile won't compile due to
the path being wrong.
Please just have a look at recipes I've already fixed, ie freetype.
I'm pretty sure this isn't a proper fix as anything that is coded to use
the freetype la's will no longer build.
You have to keep in mind that recipe builds *will* be automated at some
point. The update to libogg doesn't
increase the rev of the libsndfile package above... how will we know
that libsndfile will need to be rebuilt / updated?
