Hello there! We have an autotools-based build system setup with a custom GCC where we take all build- and run-time dependencies (except for glibc) from /opt. Things have worked well on Ubuntu 16, yet I'm hitting a funky issue when building on Ubuntu20 (libtool 2.4.6-14 according to dpkg). The issue comes down to one of the wrapper scripts that contains this gem:
# Add our own library path to
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu:/home/oleg/project/_obj/.libs:/opt/gcc-11/lib/../lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH"
Most of our libs are statically linked with exception of just
one. So tests/apps that use that shared lib end up with libtool
wrappers... and they work correctly on Ubuntu16 (libtool 2.4.6-0.1
according to dpkg). It seems that libtool version just does not
stamp out this extra variable...
The manual fix is to remove the "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu" bit from the LD_LIBRARY_PATH above... and yet I have no idea where it came from or whether there is a way to influence its composition from a Makefile.am file.
I'd appreciate any and all suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Oleg.
