Description

libspread.so is not found by autotools mechanisms, because it uses dl_addr but doesn't link to -dl
Of course this is a bug in spread itself, but we should come up with a patch ourselves.

Sorry, I can't support this. I have never used autotools.

#2 Updated by R. Haschke almost 10 years ago

I have done the simple requested patch. Please add the patch to the packaging system now.
As I suggested, when building libspread.so the option '-ldl' was missing. I fixed that in libspread/Makefile.in (libspread-dl.patch).
Better of course, is to look for the correct dynamic loader in the configure process. This is done by configure-dl.patch. However, this also requires to run autoconf before packaging!

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me.

Best, Robert

So if we go for the better solution, the summary is as follows:
  1. We only have to patch 4.3.0, not 4.1.0
  2. We have to apply configure-dl.patch
  3. The spread.project recipe has to be extended to run autoconf
  4. If we have manually maintained Spread build jobs, these have to be extended to run autotools as well

Is this correct?

And thanks for the patch btw.

#5 Updated by R. Haschke almost 10 years ago

This is correct. If you have contacts to the spread team, you should file an appropriate bug there as well.

The configure scripts correctly look for libdl for building libspread-util. However, this is a static lib only.
Hence, when building libspread.so, -ldl needs to be added again.

The debian build instructions have to be updated as well, probably.
