Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2009-10-18 05:37:59 UTC
the c-client's shared lib isnt linked against any libraries that it needs which makes it hard to use as people have to figure out what it needs and provide libraries for it

for example:
$ scanelf -nq /usr/lib/libc-client.so
libc.so.6  /usr/lib/libc-client.so

$ echo 'main(){}' > test.c
$ gcc test.c -lc-client
<whole lot of missing symbol errors>

going by the symbols, it clearly needs -lssl and -lcrypt, and something else that provides mm_* funcs (no idea what that is though)

I've tried to fix this (and other issues), see bug #331773.

Indeed.  Seems to be OK.  Thanks.
