[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] Missing libgmodule-2.0.la

[From: Murray Cumming]

I'm trying to build gtkmm packages for the new Maemo 2.0 platform, but
I'm getting this error message (in the 686 target):
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la' or
unhandled argument `/usr/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la'.

I notice that that .la file does not exist (the libgmodule library does
exist), but that there are some other .la files. What's the policy on
these .la files in Maemo? Should they be distributed or not?

I guess that something (maybe GTK+ or Pango) was built with
libgmodule.la present and that's why it's complaining, but libtool can
be mysterious.

I got the final Maemo 2.0 by changing my /etc/apt/sources.list and doing
a dist-upgrade. Maybe it would work if I had installed the new rootstrap
in a new target. Does anyone else have /usr/lib/libgmodule.la in their
target?
