Description Michal Nowak 2008-12-18 05:29:45 UTC

Build system is using RPATH:

...
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc -Wall -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic -version-info 1:0:0  -o libxcb-atom.la -rpath /usr/lib64 libxcb_atom_la-atoms.lo -lxcb
...

Fedora guides suggests some way how to deal with RPATH for packagers, see https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#Removing_Rpath

Debian guide suggest upstream "...to add the relocatable.m4 and lib-link.m4 macros (from the gettext source) might solve it", see http://wiki.debian.org/RpathIssue

It's not really XCB's place to be trying to work around libtool. Alternate, better, build systems are available anyway.

(Plus, libtool relinks at install time to remove RPATH anyway, so it's only a transient build thing ...)
