Bug 189040 – sys-block/mbuffer-20070317 fails to find MD5_Init in -lssl due to -Wl,--as-needed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Liganic 2007-08-15 20:54:49 UTC]

When compiling mbuffer-20070317 with USE="ssl" the ebuild fails, because configure sets the wrong library for md5 support.It gets -lmd5 which should be -lssl (a manual configure picks the right library). As result of this the ebuild later complains about a missing md5.h and crashes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =mbuffer-20070317 USE="ssl"

Actual Results:  
*bang* md5.h not found

you need to post real info ... saying "it fails" is not debuggable

start with the actual emerge output and the config.log in the build dir

Relevant part of emerge.log:

Found under cache variables in config.log:

Hope this is verbose enough.

dont post snippets of config.log, post the whole thing as an attachment

the md5 functions should have been found in libssl (MD5_Init)

The resulting config.log with the wrong value.

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2007-08-17 05:30:55 UTC]

your -Wl,--as-needed is screwing things up

i noticed you *still* havent posted `emerge --info`

[Comment 6 Liganic 2007-08-17 05:38:01 UTC]

Created attachment 128366 [details]
emerge --info

[Comment 7 Liganic 2007-08-17 05:41:20 UTC]

You are right, if I temporarily change the LDFLAGS to "" it compiles just fine. So I guess the best way would be to strip the flags in the ebuild?

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2007-08-17 06:44:20 UTC]

no, the configure script should be tweaked ... it asks for -lssl when in reality it wants -lcrypto

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2007-08-25 15:39:50 UTC]

mbuffer-20070518 should work

[Comment 10 Liganic 2007-08-31 09:49:52 UTC]

I have no clue why it doesn't work but I had to strip the LDFLAGS to make it work.
