No need to apologize. I just wanted to indicate that we've thought about
this problem in the past, and the best resolution we came up with was to
agree to disagree about the merits of having APR-util be aware of the -R
flags.
Setting LDFLAGS before running configure should work, like so:
LDFLAGS="-R/path/to/lib" \
./configure
is an acceptable workaround that should work. It's what I use.
I do the same to get Berkeley DB to work with apr-util, with
the -Wl,-R option. That seems to be sufficient to ensure that
configure's test programs compile and execute. (For some reason,
just having -L doesn't do it, and configure wrongly decides that
BDB can't be found because one of the test programs fails.)
Yes, the -L flag needs to be added by configure. Otherwise, it won't know
what to do. =)
However, if I read the situation correctly, that LDFLAGS setting
doesn't actually make it into make process itself; certainly it
doesn't turn up outside of config.{log,nice,status} or in make's
output. And in both the "fake" libiconv and "real" Oracle instances
Well, it should be preserved in the GNU libtool interfaces. That means
that if you perform a libtool link against libaprutil-1.la, the run-time
linker flags should be preserved.
There are some version of GNU libtool that are broken in this respect
though. Please ensure you are running the latest version of GNU libtool
(1.5.20 should work fine). IIRC, all 1.5.x version of GNU libtool prior to
1.5.10 are broken on most platforms in this regard.
At any rate, I've still got a problem on my hands, because
to deal with Oracle I need to get something into $LINK after
$COMPILE, which means one of LDFLAGS, EXTRA_LDFLAGS, or
NOTEST_LDFLAGS in build/rules.mk. No amount of fiddling
with prior-to-configure env vars has allowed me to do this;
although things turn up in config.nice, they don't make it
into the actual make process. Any help appreciated! Thanks!
I'm not sure what your problem is here.
Can you provide some more details? -- justin
