rpath in 2.4.8
Hi,
I'm installing 2.4.x on a server which already has earlier openldap
shared libraries installed. There are various workarounds for this kind
of thing, but the one I prefer is to use -rpath when linking so that the
app has built-in knowledge of where to look for it's own shared
libraries.
I was able to do this in 2.4.7, but I cannot accomplish the same in
2.4.8.
My build script includes a line like this:
LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath /local/apps/openldap2.4/lib"
Even in 2.4.7, I have to run my build script twice. The first time I
must build without the above LDFLAGS statement, as the the configure
step will choke on the compiler check otherwise. From config.log:
configure:4436: gcc -Wl,-rpath /local/apps/openldap2.4/lib conftest.c >&5
gcc: /local/apps/openldap2.4/lib: No such file or directory
I can add my LDFLAGS statement after one compile pass and not run into
this problem.
However, when I try the same thing with 2.4.8, liblber never gets
created properly, and my compile errors out with:
/usr/bin/ld: liblber-2.4.so.2: No such file: No such file or directory
When I check openldap-2.4.8/libraries/liblber/.libs/, liblber... just
isn't there.
I could just revert to using environment variables, but I find that more
error-prone than getting the path set right once during compile.
