Bug 298152 – dev-libs/dvutil: fails with forced --as-needed

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2009-12-23 23:41:51 UTC]

I'm reporting this bug because the package in summary fails to build when forcing --as-needed on through spec files (check out http://blog.flameeyes.eu/2008/11/14/problems-and-mitigation-strategies-for-as-needed for details).

Please note that this bug _might_ apply to -Wl,--as-needed in LDFLAGS as well; in both cases it should be fixed. Also, if this is due to the package in question not respecting user-defined LDFLAGS, you should get to fix that too.

Check the attached build log.

Thanks,
Diego

Build log for dev-libs/dvnet

Check the test results, dvutil lacks a link to libssl.

adding patch to ebuild, general cleaning

* adding pkg-config to deps as we use it in configure
* removing flag-o-matic and append-flag
* updating header
* removing sed from src_unpack since it was modifying Makefile.in. Now required changes are done in Makefile.am by supplied patch.
* removing obsolete ssl workaround, as --with-ssl flag is now introduced
* econf does not need to die
* there are no man files, removing obsolete doman
