Package: libsdl1.2-dev
Version: 1.2.13-2
Severity: normal
Hi,
I'm building a package (non-official) that relies on SDL. The build
system uses the standard SDL m4 macros, and in particular it uses the
output of:
$ sdl-config --libs
-L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread
As you can see this uses RPATH, which triggers the
binary-or-shlib-defines-rpath lintian error:
N: The binary or shared library sets RPATH. This overrides the normal
N: library search path, possibly interfering with local policy and
N: causing problems for multilib, among other issues.
N:
N: The only time a binary or shared library in a Debian package should
N: set RPATH is if it is linked to private shared libraries in the
same
N: package. In that case, place those private shared libraries in
N: /usr/lib/package. Libraries used by binaries in other packages
N: should be placed in /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate, with a proper
N: SONAME, in which case RPATH is unncessary.
N:
N: To fix this problem, look for link lines like:
N: gcc test.o -o test -Wl,--rpath,/usr/local/lib
N: or
N: gcc test.o -o test -R/usr/local/lib
N: and remove the -Wl,--rpath or -R argument. You can also use the
N: chrpath utility to remove the RPATH.
N:
N: Refer to http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue for details.
Is there something we can do in libsdl1.2-dev, or should I just post-fix
it with chrpath?
Thanks.
