I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details). Please note that this bug _might_ apply to -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS as well; in both cases it should be fixed. Also, if this is due to the package in question not respecting user-defined LDFLAGS, you should get to fix that too. Check the attached build log. Thanks, Diego

mlt_wrap.cxx was compiled with g++, but then linked with gcc. Although this can be made to work, it is generally easier to use g++ to link an image that contains C++ object files, so that it automatically adds the proper C++ support libraries when it invokes ld. There are also a few references to missing mlt symbols. Those might require additional changes to resolve.
Created attachment 235753 [details, diff] Dirty patch Here's a dirty hack that fixes the build process : - the Makefile is generated via swig. I don't know how to make it switch to g++, so I pass -lstdc++. I don't know what are the real differences between g++ and gcc, so it may be totally wrong. A gcc expert could shed some light on this. - It seems that it needs to be linked to mlt also. The bottom line is that it compiles but I haven't tested the ruby bindings.
