Bug 128466 – media-video/totem-1.4.0 fails with --as-needed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Josh Nichols (RETIRED) 2006-04-01 20:58:16 UTC]

linking fails with excessive unresolved symbols. They seem to all related to gstreamer and gconf, which suggests that totem isn't actually linking against these, when it should be.

It's an ordering problem, I'll see to take a look.

Okay, seems like totem systematically use the wrong linking order on every single linking.

The attached patch reorders the linking so that --as-needed should work as intended, at least I hope so.
If there are still linking failures, they are likely caused by gstreamer not being compatible with --as-needed itself, in which case we have to check the libraries themselves, shouldn't be difficult tho.

Give the patch a try and tell me if it behaves :)

Thanks, it behaves :) Tested mp3, ogg, wav, flac and an avi with xvid video and mp3 audio playback. Also the goom visualation plugin works, nice!

Patch for 1.40 works fine for xine-lib backend too (1.1.2_pre)
