Bug 101098 – app-text/ghostcript-gnu: make linking work on --as-needed flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-08-02 07:56:51 UTC]

Also if it's not supported, a package breaking on --as-needed flag usually 
means that there's something wrong in the build process or in the code. 
 
In this case, ghostscript-gnu fails quite immediately with an error during 
linking of bin/gs . The problem is that -lcups and -lcupsimage are added by 
the ebuild to the Makefile via LDFLAGS, but LDFLAGS are put at the start of 
the linker's commandline, while libraries should be specified at the end. The 
solution is to add those to EXTRALIBS that's there just for that reason. 
 
The simple attached patch fixes the problem and allows ghostscript-gnu to be 
merged fine. 
 
HTH, 
Diego
