I have just tried to build unixcw-2.3 on merkel.debian.org (another amd64 machine).
While the build log reports: ----------------------------------------------------------------- make[3]: Entering directory `/build/buildd/unixcw-2.3/src/cwlib' if [ "no" = "yes" ]; then \ x86_64-linux-gnu-gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libcw.so.0 \ -o libcw.so.0.0.0 cwlib.o; \ else \ if [ "no" = "yes" ]; then \ /usr/bin/ld -G -Wl,-soname,libcw.so.0 \ -o libcw.so.0.0.0 cwlib.o; \ fi \ fi ----------------------------------------------------------------- The manual compilation on merkel reports: ----------------------------------------------------------------- if [ "yes" = "yes" ]; then \ gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libcw.so.0 \ -o libcw.so.0.0.0 cwlib.o; \ else \ if [ "yes" = "yes" ]; then \ /usr/bin/ld -G -Wl,-soname,libcw.so.0 \ -o libcw.so.0.0.0 cwlib.o; \ fi \ fi ----------------------------------------------------------------- and libcw.so.0.0.0 seems to be created correctly. I have tried to run the little test program included in configure.ac (which fails on the build daemon) by hand, it does the following: cat >conftest.c <<-EOF int so_test() { return 0; } EOF $CC -c conftest.c $CC -shared -o conftest.so conftest.o rm -f conftest.c conftest.o if test -f conftest.so ; then nm conftest.so | grep -q so_test if test $? -eq 0 ; then CC_LINKS_SO="yes" fi fi This test reports success in merkel, so CC_LINKS_SO is set to "yes". Any idea why this fails on the build daemon? Regards, Joop pa3aba at debian dot org
