Lintian tag: shared-library-lacks-prerequisites

Type: warning

Description (from lintian-explain-tags)

The listed shared library doesn't include information about the other
libraries against which it was linked.

More specifically, "ldd foo.so" should report such other libraries. In
your case, it reports "statically linked".

The fix is to specify the libraries. One way to do so is to add something
like "-lc" to the command-line options for "ld".

Visibility: warning
Show-Always: no
Check: binaries/prerequisites
Renamed from: shared-lib-without-dependency-information

Advocates: "Julien Puydt" <julien.puydt@gmail.com>
Reason: The Coq project comes with a kind of compiler that generates
files which are ELF shared objects. Unfortunately, they contain
many undefined symbols, but those are expected.

There are a lot of false positives.
