Hello, this is about <http://bugs.debian.org/453035>.
when I am building gnutls on a system with a different version of gnutls already installed, libtool links the library libgnutls-extra against /usr/lib/libgnutls.so instead of against the correct new version DESTDIR/usr/lib/libgnutls.so. The actual breakage does not happen at build time but at install time - ../lib/libgnutls.la is translated into -lgnutls: ----------------------------- libtool: install: warning: relinking `libgnutls-extra.la' (cd /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls25-2.1.6/libextra; /bin/bash ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=relink cc -std=gnu99 -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -pipe -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign -no-undefined -L/usr/lib -lopencdk -L/usr/lib -lgcrypt -L/usr/lib -lgpg-error -L/usr/lib -lnsl -L/usr/lib -lz -version-info 25:1:0 -llzo2 -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -o libgnutls-extra.la -rpath /usr/lib gnutls_extra.lo gnutls_openpgp.lo gnutls_ia.lo openpgp/libgnutls_openpgp.la ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la -inst-prefix-dir /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls25-2.1.6/debian/tmp/) cc -std=gnu99 -shared .libs/gnutls_extra.o .libs/gnutls_openpgp.o .libs/gnutls_ia.o -Wl,--whole-archive openpgp/.libs/libgnutls_openpgp.a ../lgl/.libs/liblgnu.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive -L/usr/lib -L/tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls25-2.1.6/debian/tmp//usr/lib -lopencdk -lnsl -lz -llzo2 -lgcrypt -lgpg-error -lgnutls -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -Wl,-soname -Wl,libgnutls-extra.so.25 -o .libs/libgnutls-extra.so.25.0.1 ----------------------------- I think I can remember similar issues with software packages that shipped a library and a binary linking against this library. (Although I cannot find the correct reference on google.) This is a different issue as it is about two depending libraries. I /think/ the automake is correct: gnutls25-2.1.6/libextra/Makefile.am lib_LTLIBRARIES = libgnutls-extra.la [...] libgnutls_extra_la_LIBADD += ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la This is libtool VERSION="1.5.22 Debian 1.5.22-4", btw. If you think this is a Debian specific issue I will gladly take it there. cu andreas -- `What a good friend you are to him, Dr. Maturin.
