Description Richard Kinder 2003-01-02 04:32:58 UTC 
CVS head gst-plugins fails to build on redhat 7.1 due to a broken
libmikmod-config (mikmod-3.1.6-10):

rkinder-lab:469> /usr/bin/libmikmod-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L%prefix/lib -L/usr/lib -lm

Which screws up all of the Makefiles.

Solution is for the user to upgrade the mikmod package to the RH 8.0 RPM
(mikmod-3.1.6-17 in the filename, is really 3.1.9). Maybe a quick sanity
check could be put in configure.in to check the output from the
libmikmod-config --libs is sane?

Hey Richard,

yeah, that's a bug, but in mikmod-config.

You can do any number of things here:

* rebuild the src rpm with a fix
* rebuild 8.0's src rpm
* manually edit mikmod-config and fix it.

I'm going to mark it as notabug, because putting in workarounds for
every possible dependency mistake is a bit overkill IMO :)
