OK I think I figured out the source of most (all?) the weird problem
I have seen with the experimental fink changes (which use
LIBRARY_PATH instead of LDFLAGS).
In short: libtool
Longer explanation: libtool doesn't know about LIBRARY_PATH. Thus we
get many message like this:
*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by -ldl.
*** I have the capability to make that library automatically link in when
*** you link to this library. But I can only do this if you have a
*** shared version of the library, which you do not appear to have.
*** The inter-library dependencies that have been dropped here will be
*** automatically added whenever a program is linked with this library
*** or is declared to -dlopen it.
*** Since this library must not contain undefined symbols,
*** because either the platform does not support them or
*** it was explicitly requested with -no-undefined,
*** libtool will only create a static version of it.
The problem is that libtool needs the .la files for certain libs.
These files are present, but libtool doesn't see them in /sw/lib.
Luckily, it seems that libtool will honor DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH ! So I am
trying setting that now. I will have to rebuild most packages now,
though, since all of them are potentially tainted.
