Bug 138511 – dev-libs/libsigc++-2.0.16 fails configure

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Martin Walch 2006-06-29 11:18:39 UTC]

Since qtorrent is currently broken, I wanted to take a look at rtorrent and therefore emerge it. rtorrent depends on libsigc++ and is emerged first, but it fails on running configure:

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

It's caused by the extra comma you have in LDFLAGS, after -Wl,-O1. You probably removed some other flag, and then it failed because it tried to pass to the linker an empty parameter.

lol. Yes, you're right. Sorry for reporting nonsense.
