Created attachment 563714 [details, diff] compile bundled libewf with bundled libc* libraries Hello, I have ported libewf with split libc* libraries into Pentoo linux and everyting works great. However, the required bundled (badly outdated) libewf library fails to compile within sleuthkit since it can find a more recent version. The workaround is to force libewf not to look for external libraries. It would help a lot if you could accept the patch even if it does not affect Gentoo (at least for now).
After the patch, the configuration output for libewf will change to the following: libcstring support: local libcerror support: local libcdata support: local libclocale support: local libcnotify support: local libcsplit support: local libuna support: local libcfile support: local libcpath support: local libbfio support: local libfcache support: local libfvalue support: local libmfdata support: local it was "yes" against a relevant libc* library if it is installed as a system-wide share library.
Comment on attachment 563714 [details, diff] compile bundled libewf with bundled libc* libraries That looks like a terrible idea.
Please justify your point so we could start a dialogue here
just in case if you misinterpreted the "no" value, it means "use the local version" which is the expected logic currently: --with-libcstring[=DIR] search for libcstring in includedir and libdir or in the specified DIR, or no if to use local version [default=auto-detect] The libewf snapshot has all libc* in the archive. My patch just enforces it in case if more decent and incompatible dependencies of libewf are present (they will be detected by default).
ping?

It should link against the cross platform libc* libraries supplied in the tarball and not use the system ones. Currently, this has no visible impact for Gentoo users as aformentioned libraries do not exist in the tree yet.
