Description Dimitri 2013-04-15 01:57:51 UTC 
When trying to build on Mageia Linux 3, I'm getting the following:

  GEN      gdkconfig.h
  CCLD     libgdk-3.la
broadway/.libs/libgdk-broadway.a(gdkbroadway-server.o): In function `shm_data_destroy':
/home/mageia/gtk+3.0/BUILD/gtk+-3.8.0/gdk/broadway/gdkbroadway-server.c:564: undefined reference to `shm_unlink'
broadway/.libs/libgdk-broadway.a(gdkbroadway-server.o): In function `create_random_shm':
/home/mageia/gtk+3.0/BUILD/gtk+-3.8.0/gdk/broadway/gdkbroadway-server.c:537: undefined reference to `shm_open'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The functions are provided by librt.so from glibc. I had to patch gdk/Makefile.am for the build to succeed. Please see the attachment, though maybe it's not the best way to provide missing dependency.

Review of attachment 241537 [details] [review]:

Given that these functions are used by gdkbroadway-server, thats where -lrt should be added
