> Key: HADOOP-8196
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8196
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: native
> Affects Versions: 0.24.0
> Reporter: Eugene Koontz
> Fix For: 0.24.0
>
>
> The configure script generated by
> hadoop-common/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/native/configure.ac
> uses the AC_COMPUTE_NEEDED_DSO m4 macro to generate a small probe program in
> C which it then compiles and links, and then scans the resultant binary to
> find the names of certain libraries: currently this is used for Zlib and
> Snappy.
> I was unable to compile with -Pnative on my Ubuntu Linux install because
> configure could not find libz and libsnappy. This turned out to be because
> the linker is removing the dependencies on libz and libsnappy at link-time
> because the libraries in question are not used in the simple probe code
> generated by the AC_COMPUTE_NEEDED_DSO m4 macro.
> So my fix is modify the AC_COMPUTE_NEEDED_DSO to take another parameter that
> copies the given argument's text into the C program. Then, in the call to
> AC_COMPUTE_NEEDED_DSO, we can use this additional parameter, to include, in
> the generated C code, an actual library function call for each library. This
> prevents the linker from removing the linkage to the desired libraries.
> My gcc and ldd version information are given below:
