build: static link with libgd (696 bytes, patch)
2016-01-13 16:47 UTC, Michael Catanzaro 		committed Details | Review

Description Ting-Wei Lan 2016-01-11 07:49:40 UTC 
Epiphany requires libgd.so installed in its private directory to start. It uses RUNPATH to add its private directory to the library search path. Unfortunately, there is an unrelated library that is also called libgd.so: https://libgd.github.io/.  As RUNPATH can be overrided by LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable, Epiphany will fail to start if an unrelated libgd.so is installed in LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

$ epiphany 
/home/lantw44/gnome/devinstall/bin/epiphany: Undefined symbol "gd_two_lines_renderer_new"

$ ldd `which epiphany` | grep libgd.so
	libgd.so => /usr/local/lib/libgd.so (0x800912000)

Do you have any suggestions?

To be clear, this affects only Epiphany? You can run other applications using GNOME libgd?

You forgot to pass "static" to LIBGD_INIT() in configure.ac

They link statically to libgd.
