Issue ID: 10305
           Summary: pkg-config should be used to find cyrus-sasl
           Product: OpenLDAP
           Version: 2.6.9
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needs_review
          Severity: normal
          Priority: ---
         Component: build
          Assignee: bugs@openldap.org
          Reporter: hi@alyssa.is
  Target Milestone: ---
Static libraries do not encode their dependencies, so dependencies have to be
discovered using pkg-config or another equivalent mechanism.  OpenLDAP does not
use pkg-config to find cyrus-sasl, which means that even if a working static
cyrus-sasl library is available, it won't be used, because OpenLDAP's build
system won't know to link its dependency libraries.
