Bug 106446 – Linking to -ldl should never happen unconditionally

• Status: RESOLVED LATER
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-09-18 17:18:26 UTC]

The following ebuilds seems to link unconditionally to libdl (with -ldl). If 
they use autotools, it's better to use the AM_DL macro to check if -ldl is 
needed. If the link must be done from inside the ebuild, please use dlopen_lib 
function in portability eclass to replace the -ldl unconditional link. 
 
Thanks

dev-lang/lua/lua-5.0.2-r2 and dev-lang/tolua/tolua-5.0-r1 have been added to
portage with the calls to dlopen_lib. If there are no problems then I will
remove the older non-compatible ebuilds in a couple of weeks.

net-www/mod_auth_pam fixed.

[Comment 7 Chris Gianelloni (RETIRED) 2006-06-14 08:05:11 UTC]

Removing livecd since John does all of pyparted...

[Comment 8 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2006-11-30 19:25:24 UTC]

I'll just do it piece by piece going on and on.

dev-lang/lua is now maintained by Matti Bickel.
