Bug 528290 – sys-devel/autoconf: honor PKG_CHECK_MODULES C/LDFLAGS

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 528254
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description tokiclover 2014-11-05 10:19:38 UTC]

I have encountered an issue related to honoring PKG_CHECK_MODULES related C/LDFLAGS.

For example writing down `PKG_CHECK_MODULES([CORE],[fontconfig x11 xext])' won't generate CORE_C/LDFLAGS accordingly. See bug #528254 which should be marked as a duplicate of this one instead.

I've encountered this bug on other packages but I was too busy to debug it.

This actually goes down to a broken `configure' script which have:
---
{ $as_echo "$as_me:${as_lineno-$LINENO}: checking for CORE" >&5
$as_echo_n "checking for CORE... " >&6; }

if test -n "$CORE_CFLAGS"; then
(...)
if test -n "$CORE_LIBS"; then
(...)
fi
---
instead of
---
(...)
if test -z "$CORE_CFLAGS"; then
(...)
if test -z "$CORE_LIBS"; then
(...)
fi
---
which would honor C/LDFLAGS by executing the related lines.

Lets locate the origin of those lines to be able to fix the issue.

Reproducible: Always

So this is related to the underlinking issue (see bug #372079).
