[gnutls-dev] Please update lib-link.m4

[Andreas Metzler]

Hello,

the old verion of lib-link.m4 (serial 9) in gnutls 2.1.7 results in
adding a unnecessary -L/usr/lib to the link line for every single
found library. (e.g. opencdk or zlib):

(cd /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls25-2.1.6/libextra; /bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC --mode=relink cc -std=gnu99 -g  -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -pipe -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign -no-undefined -L/usr/lib -lopencdk -L/usr/lib -lgcrypt -L/usr/lib -lgpg-error -L/usr/lib -lnsl -L/usr/lib -lz -version-info 25:1:0 -llzo2 -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -o libgnutls-extra.la -rpath /usr/lib gnutls_extra.lo gnutls_openpgp.lo gnutls_ia.lo openpgp/libgnutls_openpgp.la ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la -inst-prefix-dir /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls25-2.1.6/debian/tmp/)


The additional -L/usr/lib causes libtool to choose the wrong -lgnutls,
prefereing the one in /usr/lib (if it exists) over the newly generated
one in DESTDIR/usr/lib.

Upgrading lib-link.m4 from serial 9 to serial 13 gets rid of almost all
instances of -L/usr/lib:

(cd /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls26-2.1.7/libextra; /bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC --mode=relink cc -std=gnu99 -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -pipe -g -Wall -O2 -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -Wno-pointer-sign -no-undefined -lopencdk -version-info 26:0:0 -llzo2 -Wl,--version-script=./libgnutls-extra.vers -o libgnutls-extra.la -rpath /usr/lib gnutls_extra.lo gnutls_openpgp.lo gnutls_ia.lo openpgp/libgnutls_openpgp.la ../lgl/liblgnu.la ../lib/libgnutls.la -inst-prefix-dir /tmp/GNUTLS/gnutls26-2.1.7/debian/tmp/)

Please upgrade lib-link.m4

thanks, cu andreas
