GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 612340
[Patch] Add missing libm & libX11 linking
Last modified: 2010-03-10 09:26:12 UTC
XChat-GNOME fails to build due to a change DSO-linking semantics of the gcc compiler in Fedora. Previously calls to the linker (ld) from gcc would result in dangerous default behaviour where ld would attempt to implicitly satisfy link requirements. The change will prevent ld from automatically searching in the dependencies of linked objects. Please find the attached patch which will add the missing linking to libm which will fix this build failure for Empathy.
