Hi folks,
Trying to update dateutils, autotools build fails with:
libtool: error: can't build x86_64-pc-cygwin shared library unless
-no-undefined is specified
Suggestions for overrides or fixes?
Tried:
LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -Wl,--no-allow-shlib-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined"
CYGCONF_ARGS="
--enable-contrib
--enable-tzmap-fetch
lt_no_undefined_flag=--no-undefined
no_undefined_flag=--no-undefined
You and I discussed this a few years ago in connection with curl. The solution
there, and in most similar cases, is to add -no-undefined to the appropriate
lib*_la_LDFLAGS variable(s) in Makefile.am. See
https://cygwin.com/pipermail/cygwin-apps/2020-August/040411.html
Thanks for the reminder Ken,
You must have a great memory and/or search strategy.
Even checking back on curl and github I have zero memory of making this patch,
and it being accepted upstream, but this should prompt me to remember to search
wider in my email hierarchy, and in my own package repo clones and directories
for patches.
Now your response is starred in my email.
Perhaps I worked contract gigs too long, my memory compressor kicked in, and
swapped that out to external storage (here!)
Hoping this will perhaps hammer a nail in my memory to hang that info on.
Cheers!
