Description Kevin F. Quinn 2009-08-31 09:59:18 UTC

Test phase passes, but noticed this in config.log:

checking for check named check_pic  - version >= 0.9.2... no
*** Could not run check test program, checking why...
*** The test program failed to compile or link. See the file config.log for
*** the exact error that occured.

config.log shows:

configure:23803: checking for check named check_pic  - version >= 0.9.2
configure:23876: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -o conftest -O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -ggdb2   -Wl,-O1 conftest.c  -lcheck_pic  -lrt -ldl >&5
conftest.c: In function 'main':
conftest.c:81: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'strdup'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lcheck_pic
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Found the following talking about this:

but as you can see they're quite old...


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --oneshot =media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.23
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
Log shows configure failed to find check_lib

Expected Results:  
? should have found check_lib, and run other tests?

This doesn't happen in current stable ebuild - closing.
