Huh... I wonder where that symbol reference is coming from. I'll try to reproduce it myself this evening.
It seems to come from bundled libvncserver (remmina-plugins/vnc/libvncserver/libvncclient/tls.c) because LIBVNCSERVER_WITH_CLIENT_TLS is defined. LIBVNCSERVER_WITH_CLIENT_TLS is defined by libvncserver cmake file because I have gnutls installed. I don't know why remmina-plugin-vnc.so is not linked to it (perhaps some --as-needed issue?).I would need some hints to keep on tracking down the issue.
Heh... I was testing with the live ebuild (remmina-9999). Upstream dropped the bundled copy of libvncserver after 1.0.0 was released. It looks like the build system never specifies ${GNUTLS_LIBRARIES} via target_link_libraries(). Have a look at remmina-plugins/vnc/libvncserver/CMakeLists.txt. Nothing to do with --as-needed, just a faulty build system. The bigger issue is the automagic dependency here; I really would rather use the system libvncserver so that we don't have to worry about that.
Thanks a lot for the explanation Mike.
Ok, I added a snapshot from upstream. This should be fixed in remmina-1.0.0_p20120309.
