The provided patch seems incomplete to me. The changed lines only seem to effect any testing, not the build. Though I could see that my own testbuilds were not linking against libbfd, but that turned out to be because HAVE_CPLUS_DEMANGLE is defined. Which actually may be an alternate solution (to modify the builddeps of the kernel package).
Anyway, for a starter, this is the modified Oneiric patch. ** Patch added: "0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-perf-Link-libbfd-statically.patch" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/linux/+bug/783660/+attachment/2249109/+files/0001-UBUNTU-SAUCE-perf-Link-libbfd-statically.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783660 Title: linux-tools: perf should link statically to libbfd To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/783660/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
