Bug 130464 – app-crypt/heimdal-0.7.2 breaks with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Fredrik Klasson 2006-04-19 05:01:57 UTC]

When emerging heimdal with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" it fails with an symbol error on libroken (the symbol 'crypt').
After reading http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml I think that the solution which I can suggest (given my limited present knowlegde in this field) is adding this line to the pkg_setup() in the heimdal ebuild:
    filter-ldflags -Wl,--as-needed --as-needed

My full set of tested LDFLAGS are:

LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,combreloc -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,--sort-common"
result: breaks build
--------------------------
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"
result: builds ok
--------------------------
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,-z,combreloc -Wl,-z,now -Wl,--sort-common"
result: builds ok

ebuild which filters "-Wl,--as-needed"

frederik, please post the error which you are seeing, and reopen the bug

[Comment 3 Fredrik Klasson 2006-04-21 06:08:25 UTC]

With the app-crypt/heimdal-0.7.2.ebuild I get this error (with the attached heimdal-0.7.2-r1.ebuild it emerges as expected since --as-needed is filtered).

Allow compile without filtering.

I've added a patch which should allow you to compile heimdal without having to filter out '-Wl,--as-needed'.

To use it just drop the path in the files directory and add 
'epatch "${FILESDIR}/as-needed.0.7.2.patch"'
to src_unpack BEFORE the eautoreconf line.

[Comment 5 Rafał Mużyło 2006-09-24 22:28:59 UTC]

Patch works.
Please comit to portage tree.

[Comment 6 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2007-09-07 11:34:07 UTC]

James Cassidy, thanks for the patch, had to modify it since it didn't apply anymore.

Fixed in CVS.
