Bug 81058 – Package readline doesn't build properly on solaris

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description devsk 2005-02-06 18:35:34 UTC]

emerge sys-libs/readline fails on solaris because ${S}/support/shobj-conf specifies both '-shared' and '-Wl,-i' to gcc which fails. The flags don't work for gnu linker but for solaris linker. The attached patch determines whether the linker used by gcc is a gnu linker or not and appropriately passes the right options.

This patch doesn't affect Linux functionality.

I did send it upstream...but you know, the water just trickles from upstream compared to the river that is gentoo...:) so, can you please leave it open for a while and if people upstream are not keen, then we can look into moving it into the ebuild.

thanks.
