Description Julio Merino 2006-04-04 01:39:37 UTC

The libdbus_convenience library is incorrectly built under DragonFly BSD.  As
Joerg Sonnenberger explains (the author of the patch), the convenience library
needs to be built -static, as otherwise binutils generates incorrect relocation
entries for errno on DragonFly.

If -static is not given to that library, final binaries such as dbus-daemon are
linked with the convenience library using the PIC objects, which is incorrect.

As the name implies, this is a convenience library so it has to be linked
statically.

The previous attachment missed to refer to the appropriate bug report in the
proposed ChangeLog entry.  This one is correct.

recent dbus code has renamed the convencience library to libdbus_internal. The internal library is build static 

## this library is the same as libdbus, but exports all the symbols
## and is only used for static linking within the dbus package.
noinst_LTLIBRARIES=libdbus-internal.la

so it looks to me that this bug is already implemented and could be closed.
