fix link line ordering for jhbuild (834 bytes, patch)
2008-04-16 21:16 UTC, Colin Walters 		none Details | Review

Description Colin Walters 2008-04-16 21:16:19 UTC 
Hi, this patch fixes jhbuild for me.  Basically jhbuild isn't building the X libraries, so the pkg-config files for them have -L/usr/lib.  Now the jhbuilt gnome stack follows later on the link line with -L/src/build/jhbuild/lib.

This change makes the GNOME_SESSION_LIBS override the X_LIBS.  Should not change non-jhbuild targets.

1) pkg-config automatically strips "-L/usr/lib" from its output, because it's cool like that.

2) X_LIBS isn't generated from pkg-config anyway, it's generated from AC_PATH_XTRA, which also goes out of its way to avoid outputting "-L/usr/lib".

So I'm not sure how you're getting "-L/usr/lib" in $X_LIBS...

Colin, ping?
Comment 4 Colin Walters 2008-05-25 20:19:24 UTC 
This may be a multilib-only issue.  Looking at the pkg-config source, it detects whether the system is lib64, if it is then it strips out /usr/lib64 ONLY, whereas it should really strip out /usr/lib AND /usr/lib64.

I'll refile this against pkg-config.
