| Currently fltk-config reports all of its dependencies:
$ fltk-config --use-gl --use-images --ldflags
-L/usr/local/lib -lm -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib -fstack-protector -lfltk_images -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lfltk_gl -lGLU -lGL -lfltk -lXrender -lXcursor -lXfixes -lXext -lXft -lfontconfig -lXinerama -lpthread -lm -lX11
This causes executables of dependent projects to link to all fltk's dependencies as well, when this isn't needed.
The particular adverse consequence that this causes is that dependent packages now need these dependencies added. For example, FreeBSD ports have 'make stage-qa' command that checks consistency of dependencies, and it prints warnings that all these packages need to be declared as dependencies.
Other packages in the sime situation don't report their dependencies:
$ pkg-config --libs poppler
-L/usr/local/lib -lpoppler
I found this problem in the FreeBSD port games/crashtest.

| Given your example above: what do you think would be the expected (correct) output?
And what would be the expected output of:
$ fltk-config --use-gl --use-images --ldstaticflags | |

| $ fltk-config --use-gl --use-images --ldstaticflags
should return all dependencies because they all should be supplied to the static link. | |
