GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 309278
gpdf build breaks on Solaris with pkg-config >= 0.17.1
Last modified: 2005-07-09 13:39:24 UTC
Please describe the problem: Recent version of pkg-config no longer include all dependent libraries when printing --libs. (See http://www.advogato.org/person/jamesh/diary.html?start=192 for details.) On Solaris, binaries that directly use APIs from library L now need to link to L explicitely, even if they link to another library M that links to L. Build fails with unreferenced symbols, as all required lib are not included with -l on link line. Steps to reproduce: 1. On Solaris, install pkgbuild-0.17.2 2. Try building gpdf-2.10.0 Actual results: Build fails Expected results: Build to succeed Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Created attachment 48498 [details] [review] Patch for configure.in to PKG_CHECK all required libraries
this is a pkg-config issue, not a gpdf bug
