From 20276f7cc967ec1a472715574adc6792b1598314 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Florian Westphal Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 22:23:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] configure.in: only add -lnsl when needed dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1 [..] (they use none of its symbols). As shown via commit 2b14234abc252383679bae2d23861b773dc9713e (dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: dependency on libnsl.so.1) and the following revert of that commit, we cannot simply drop the AC_CHECK_LIB(nsl). Although -lnsl is indeed unneeded when glibc is used, some platforms (e.g. Solaris) need it. Use AC_SEARCH_LIBS instead to only link when the library exports a particular symbol. --- configure.in | 4 +++- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/configure.in b/configure.in index 10a72d35..f80e8a96 100644 --- a/configure.in +++ b/configure.in @@ -131,9 +131,11 @@ AC_CHECK_MEMBER([struct sockaddr_in.sin_len], AC_DEFINE(HAVE_sockaddr_in_len),, # -- Libraries -- +# A/UX needs this.
