--> I hope this is in a new post now. Sorry Eli Schwartz, I did not know that the ML gets messed up like this. On 12/04/2016 08:50 PM, Connor Behan via aur-general wrote:

I am currently updating the xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin and have a few namcap warnings to resolve. Mainly I am focusing this kind of warnings:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/xfce4-pulseaudio-plugin/
However configure does use shared libraries as you can see from the log: checking whether to build shared libraries... yes checking whether to build static libraries... no
Does this require upstream fixes? And if so, what should be changed? I want to move the package to [community] once gpg signatures and https are provided, but that also should get fixed first.
Cheers, Nico
It might be possible to get rid of this output by putting the "-Wl,--as-needed" compiler flag in the upstream configure script. But honestly this happens with most GTK programs. The libgtk-x11-2.0.so library is setup to bring in most of its own dependencies every time a program uses it. Even when that program doesn't need to call pango, cairo or any of that. I would just ignore it.
I also got this suggestion on IRC. I added the LD_FLAGS=-Wl,--as-needed to the configure command, but that did not help at all. Maybe I did it wrong? The fact that more programs have this problem does not mean we should ignore it. Also because of possible outdated software and security reasons. ~Nico
