Description Steve Grubb 2004-09-04 13:58:57 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i586; en-US; rv:1.4.2)
Gecko/20040308

Description of problem:
The current rawhide version of util-linux does not compile when built
from srpm.

Additionally, WITH_SELINUX is not handled correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
util-linux-2.12a-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rpmbuild -bb util-linux.spec

Actual Results: 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libslang.so:
undefined reference to `tgetnum'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libslang.so:
undefined reference to `tgetflag'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libslang.so:
undefined reference to `tgetent'
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../libslang.so:
undefined reference to `tgetstr'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [cfdisk] Error 1


Expected Results:  A message saying where the rpm was written.

Comment 3 Florian La Roche 2004-09-06 13:03:25 UTC 
Why should this not be fixed in slang then?
Comment 4 Steve Grubb 2004-09-06 13:12:42 UTC 
Slang is a library. You only run into this problem when you link to
it. AFAIK, you cannot solve external dependencies within the library.
You have to add the proper linkage to the CC or LD command of an
application - such as cfdisk. I would venture to say other programs
that use slang include the correct linkage.

If there is a better way to fix it, please go ahead. I'm just showing
you what fixed it for me. I'll test whatever gets released.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2004-09-06 21:02:10 UTC 
Sure, you can link slang against its dependent lib.
Comment 6 Eido Inoue 2004-10-14 18:11:42 UTC 
this doesn't seem to be a problem with redhat environments. perhaps
you're using you're own ncurses that's built with termcap? there's no
tgetnum in our libslang.

it compiles correctly for our distros. closing.
