Package: check Version: 0.9.8-1 Followup-For: Bug #605207 If the package maintainer does not have time for a proper fix which adds a .so, we can just make pkg-config return -lcheck_pic, see the attached patch.
'check' is needed by the next BlueZ version, which fails to build with the current 'check' Debian package with this error: CCLD unit/test-eir /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libcheck.a (check.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libcheck.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [unit/test-eir] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 Linking to libcheck_pic.a makes the compilation work again.

On Debian systems a libcheck_pic.a is generated for dynamic linking, expose that in the .pc file, to avoid errors like the following from BlueZ: CCLD unit/test-eir /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libcheck.a (check.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libcheck.a: could not read symbols: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [unit/test-eir] Error 1 make: *** [all] Error 2 See http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.bluez.kernel/18403 Signed-off-by: Antonio Ospite <osp...@studenti.unina.it> --- check.pc.in | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) Index: check-0.9.8/check.pc.in =================================================================== --- check-0.9.8.orig/check.pc.in +++ check-0.9.8/check.pc.in @@ -7,5 +7,5 @@ Description: A unit test framework for C URL: http://check.sourceforge.net Version: @VERSION@ -Libs: -L${libdir} -lcheck +Libs: -L${libdir} -lcheck_pic Cflags: -I${includedir}
