From 70819a18bf9c452d229e587e03b26bfa44f10686 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mohammad Akhlaghi Date: Thu, 8 Aug 2019 14:17:25 +0100 Subject: Static PatchELF only built when static C library exists Until now, when building PatchELF, we would always require that it be done statically. However, some systems don't have a static C library available for linking. This cause a crash in the static building of PatchELF. But a static PatchELF is necessary for correcting RPATH in GCC's outputs. With this commit, in the configure script we check if a static C library is linkable for the compiler. If it isn't then `host_cc' will be set to 1 and GCC won't be built. We also pass the result of this test to `basic.mk' (through `good_static_lib'), so if a static C library isn't available, it builds a dynamically linked PatchELF. This bug was reported by Elham Saremi. --- reproduce/software/make/basic.mk | 17 ++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) (limited to 'reproduce/software/make') diff --git a/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk b/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk index 4e6d5fa..04edf1a 100644 --- a/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk +++ b/reproduce/software/make/basic.mk @@ -546,14 +546,17 @@ $(ibidir)/readline: $(tdir)/readline-$(readline-version).tar.gz \ SHLIB_LIBS="-lncursesw" -j$(numthreads)) \ && echo "GNU Readline $(readline-version)" > $@ -# Patchelf has to be built statically because it links with the C++ -# standard library.
