Bug 362173 – sys-cluster/ipvsadm-1.26 should [R]DEPEND on dev-libs/popt

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Han Boetes 2011-04-05 14:43:08 UTC]

ipvsadm-1.26 does not use the -lpopt option at linktime. After attempting to build it I cd into the build directory, hit make and then run the same link command _with_ -lpopt

cd /var/tmp/portage/sys-cluster/ipvsadm-1.26/work/ipvsadm-1.26
make
make -C libipvs

Reproducible: Always




This patch fixes the issue.

The Makefile looks for libpopt.a to decide if it should add -lpopt, I've got dev-libs/popt installed but no libpopt.a.
As the Makefile sets 'POPT_LIB=-lpopt' if it finds libpopt.a that's what I added to the ebuild instead of LDFLAGS="-lpopt". Seemed to accomplish the same goal.
