# Nothing is spawned at run time: FFmpeg is linked, whisper.cpp and
# sherpa-onnx are compiled in. alsa-lib is cpal's playback backend;
# fontconfig and freetype are the font side of the renderer; libglvnd and
# vulkan-icd-loader are the two backends wgpu picks between, and the rest is
# what winit opens by name for whichever session the user is in. dbus is the
# XDG portal, which is how the file dialogs and "reveal in file manager"
# work without a toolkit. onnxruntime runs the cutout models and is linked
# dynamically, see ORT_LIB_LOCATION in build().

# !lto: makepkg's lto puts -flto=auto into CFLAGS, and ring - the crypto
# behind the model downloads' TLS - compiles hand-written assembly through
# cc, which comes out as bitcode and links to nothing. Rust's own LTO is set
# in the app profile and is unaffected.
