[FYI] {master} tests: avoid many spurious failures for shells with busted 'set -e'

2012-02-26 Thread Stefano Lattarini
Some versions of the BSD Korn shell wrongly bail out when the 'errexit' shell flag is active and the left-hand command in a list fails and that list is the *last* command of an entry in a case statement. * tests/defs (gcc, g++, gcj): Work around that. --- tests/defs |3 +++ 1 files changed,

Wait, isn't rpath supposed to be set automagically?

2012-02-26 Thread Miles Bader
I thought that as long as one used .la libraries, automake+libtool was supposed to handle all the grotty stuff like rpath automatically, adding -rpath $(libdir) if you depend on libraries installed to libdir and libdir isn't on the system library search path. [Yeah, I also know some people hate

2012年2月27日0:58 Peter Johansson troj...@gmail.com: On which system do you experience this? I've seen this problem on Fedora and the problem was that the linker search path and the dynamic loader search path were different. IIUC libtool sets -rpath if a used library is outside linker path.
