Package: etpan-ng Version: 0.7.1-5.1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu ubuntu-patch oneiric
etpan-ng fails to build with a linker that defaults to --as-needed, as shown in this Ubuntu bug report: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/etpan-ng/+bug/770741 This happens because 'libetpan-config --libs' returns linker options and libraries all mixed together, but they need to be picked apart so that the libraries can correctly come after C files / objects. For a similar case, see: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=commitdiff;h=f2481f3df4521e731da36afe7f0fe19a5c93e46d The attached patch fixes this in etpan-ng. * Separate the output of 'libetpan-config --libs' into components suitable for LDFLAGS and LIBS, fixing build failure with 'ld --as-needed'. --- etpan-ng-0.7.1.orig/configure.in +++ etpan-ng-0.7.1/configure.in @@ -127,7 +127,16 @@ AC_CHECK_HEADER(libetpan/libetpan.h, [libetpan=yes]) if test "x$libetpan" = "xyes"; then AC_MSG_CHECKING([whether libetpan-config hints compiles and links fine]) - LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS `$libetpanconfig --libs 2>/dev/null`" + for opt in `$libetpanconfig --libs 2>/dev/null`; do + case $opt in + -l*) + LIBS="$LIBS $opt" + ;; + *) + LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $opt" + ;; + esac + done AC_TRY_LINK([], [db_mailstorage_init();], [libetpan=yes], [libetpan=no]) AC_MSG_RESULT([$libetpan]) fi --- etpan-ng-0.7.1.orig/configure +++ etpan-ng-0.7.1/configure @@ -4775,7 +4775,16 @@ if test "x$libetpan" = "xyes"; then echo "$as_me:$LINENO: checking whether libetpan-config hints compiles and links fine" >&5 echo $ECHO_N "checking whether libetpan-config hints compiles and links fine... $ECHO_C" >&6 - LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS `$libetpanconfig --libs 2>/dev/null`" + for opt in `$libetpanconfig --libs 2>/dev/null`; do + case $opt in + -l*) + LIBS="$LIBS $opt" + ;; + *) + LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS $opt" + ;; + esac + done cat >conftest.$ac_ext <<_ACEOF /* confdefs.h. */ _ACEOF -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
