[xine-devel] Why has the SyncFB plugin been linked to libXinerama?

[Chris R. <ran...@ya...>]

Hi,

I have just noticed the following change to the SyncFB plugin's Makefile:

+ xineplug_vo_out_syncfb_la_LIBADD = $(X_LIBS)

However, X_LIBS is "-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXinerama"! I would have thought 
that it would have made more sense to link the plugin against

"-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext"

instead. Fortunately, libXinerama is an archive ".a" file on my system 
rather than a shared object ".so" file, and so no redundant code or 
library reference is linked in...
