At least on Fedora 13, this doesn't link; the linker finds the dependencies, and aborts saying we should include them. /usr/bin/ld: gmime-filter-reply.o: undefined reference to symbol 'g_mime_filter_set_size' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'g_mime_filter_set_size' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib/libgmime-2.6.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation We do need to link at least to what we really use, the linker resolves the dependencies of our dependencies at loading time. So let's only specify what we use directly.
