cc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fstack-protector-strong -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/sox sox.o -L/usr/local/lib -L./.libs -lsox -lpng -lltdl -lao -lgsm -lid3tag -lz -lmad -lmp3lame -ltwolame -lopusfile -lopus -lsndio -lvorbisfile -lwavpack -lcrypto -lsndfile -lFLAC -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -logg -lm -Wl,-rpath,/home/hans/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib fails, but cc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -fstack-protector-strong -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/sox sox.o -L./.libs -lsox -L/usr/local/lib -lpng -lltdl -lao -lgsm -lid3tag -lz -lmad -lmp3lame -ltwolame -lopusfile -lopus -lsndio -lvorbisfile -lwavpack -lcrypto -lsndfile -lFLAC -lvorbisenc -lvorbis -logg -lm -Wl,-rpath,/home/hans/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib succeeds. The only difference between the two is the -L order, namely, cc [...] -o .libs/sox sox.o -L/usr/local/lib -L./.libs -lsox -lpng [...] cc [...] -o .libs/sox sox.o -L./.libs -lsox -L/usr/local/lib -lpng [...] That confirms my suspition the ./configure LDFLAGS=-L... puts the extra -L in a wrong place. Running ./configure without options, on the other hand, detects e.g. flac and puts the -L/usr/local/lib at the right place in that line. > > For each -l option, the directories specified with -L options preceding > > it are searched in order until a match is found. > > In that case, > > -o .libs/sox sox.o -L/usr/local/lib -L./.libs -lsox > > will find /usr/local/lib/libsox.so first, > i.e. the one from a previous installation. > That seems wrong. > > > Unless there are > > conflicting libraries in different locations, the order doesn't matter. > > There is /usr/local/lib/libsox.so from the already installed sox, > and there is .libs/libsox.so ; at any rate, the sox being built > should probably not be linked against the old library. > > > > Note that with LDFLAGS=/usr/local/lib, the order is > > > > > > -o .libs/sox sox.o -L/usr/local/lib -L./.libs -lsox [etc] > > which seems wrong, if the above is true. > > > > but without LDFLAGS it's > > > > > > -o .libs/sox sox.o -L ./.libs -lsox -L/usr/local/lib -lFLAC [etc] > > Which seems correct: fond libsox in .libs, > and then find flac etc in /usr/local/lib _______________________________________________ SoX-devel mailing list SoX-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/sox-devel
