Bug 104240 – dev-libs/check requires libtool to be usable on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-08-30 02:48:45 UTC]

As libcheck builds just a .a, it can't be used on amd64 to link to shared   
libraries, as .a are built without -fPIC, while .so requires -fPIC.   
The attached patch makes check (0.9.3, but it's the same for 0.9.2 that is  
currently in portage) build using libtool. 
It requires to run all the autotools chain to work, here I'm just calling 
eautoreconf from autotools eclass. 
 
HTH, 
Diego

this bug (and the appended patch) has been lying around since Oct 30 2005, would be nice to have it fixed...

Now in CVS, marked unstable for all arches. Sorry about the delay.

Please send Check patches like this upstream to [e-mail] 

Although this one was pretty simple and I was going to do it soon anyway.

Thanks,
Chris
