Re: 4.4 - Nearing the finish line [was Re: inconsistency between 4.4-cvs and 4.5 for default install]

Hello

On windows build (I have used the dynamic build), I do not use libexpat libraries. However, the
libexpat-1.dll is required for gnuplot execution.
I have looked around what requires libexpat.

In the fontconfig.pc, I found
***********
Libs.private:  -L/devel/dist/win32/expat-2.0.1-1/lib -lexpat
-L/devel/dist/win32/freetype-2.3.11-1/bin/../lib -lfreetype 
**********

For dynamic build, -lexpat is not required for linking but libexpat-1.dll is required for gnuplot
execution because the libexpat is privately linked with from the fontconfig.

Perhaps for static build, all libraries related might be required at link stage.

If the gdlib-config requires the fontconfig, the libexpat might be required through the fontconfig for
static build.

The above is my guess so that please see it as a reference.

Regards

Tatsuro
