[PATCH] tools/rtla: Explicitly list libtraceevent dependency

From: Daniel Wagner
Date: Tue Jan 10 2023 - 08:18:47 EST


The current libtracefs.pkg file lists the dependency on
libtraceevent ("pkg-config --libs libtracefs" -> "-ltracefs
-ltraceevent").

Dan Nicholson's Guide to pkg-config[1] stats that "Libs: The link
flags specific to this package and any required libraries that don't
support pkg-config". Thus the current libtracefs.pkg is not correct.

rtla is depending on libtraceevent but it doesn't express this in
'pkg-config' part to retrieve the correct build flags.

In order to be able to update the "Libs:" section in the libtracefs
project we need to list the dependency explicitly to avoid future linker
failures.

I've got this fallout with because I am using libtraceevent and libtracefs build
with Meson. Meson generates different pkg files which seems to align with Dan's
Guide.
