Bugzilla Bug 186424

I bet there is a missing -lm in LDFLAGS somewhere there.

Please, attach config.log and wiretap/config.log.

You will get the config.log and wiretap/config.log in a second. (I blowed away
my /var/tmp/..../wireshark dir so i need to recompile)

After applying the previously attatched wireshark-0.99.6-ldflag-lm.patch the
linking works. "Forgetting" -lm is a common mistake since glibc works without
it. Other libc's are not as forgiving.

wireshark-0.99.6-lm.patch

Eh. Your clarification helped me to recall the problem.

But why do you fix compilation of the programs which compiles with
libwireshark, while the problem is in libwireshark? Does this ^^ patch works
for you?

Thank you for report, BTW :)

Also, may be the correct solution will be use @LIBM@ and add AC_CHECK_LIBM into
wiretap/configure.in which is part of libtool distribution (libtool.m4).

Sounds like the proper way to handle this.
Should be reported upstream too.

btw. The patch you posted works too. (my patch was shooting at anything that
was moving...)

wireshark-0.99.6-r1 is commited with the fixes for this problem too.  Please,
report if I did anything wrong, as I do not have system with ulibc to test the
fix.

Again, thank you for report... fixed. :)
