What is the justification for doing this? We use weak JACK to avoid a hard runtime dependency on JACK, which must be installed separately and cannot be shipped with LMMS. To quote the Weak-JACK readme:
The jack shared library needs to be installed system-wide (for all jack applications to share), it can not be part of an application itself.
[...]
weak-jack linking is useful (at least) in the following cases:
- the resulting application should not be directly linked to libjack.[so|dll|dylib] IOW: the application should start even if libjack is not installed.
