Description Kevin McCarthy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2011-02-09 19:02:27 UTC

dev-libs/libbsd provides useful functions commonly found on BSD systems, and lacking on others like GNU systems, thus making it easier to port projects with strong BSD origins, without needing to embed the same code over and over again on each project.


Reproducible: Always

Add rpath to pkg-config pc file

Since this library has the same name as a static library included with glibc, it must live in /usr/${libdir}/libbsd. This patch sets rpath properly when a package uses pkg-config to configure for libbsd.

Comment 4 Kevin McCarthy (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

2011-02-22 16:54:24 UTC

Since glibc has been changed so it no longer installs libbsd.a (bug #355899), the rpath patch has been reverted, the ebuild has been modified to install in the system directories and libbsd has been committed to the tree.
