Description Kevin Clevenger 2012-09-19 00:11:40 UTC

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #855451 +++

Created attachment 610833 [details]
Patch to reenable building static libs in libgpg-error-devel RPM

The libgpg-error-devel RPM does not contain %{_libdir}/libgpg-error.a, needed by gpgme to run the basic gpg unit tests.

gpgme unit tests would currently fail, except they've been disabled because they won't build without these static libs.  (Soon will file a ticket dependent on this bug.)

I'm attaching a patch to re-enable building the static libs.

The patch also updates .gitignore to ignore fedpkg local build artifacts.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for looking at #855451.  I'm a bit green around here.  How come you created a new bug?  Only difference I see is that it's been assigned (hi, Nalin!).

BZ #855451 is for Fedora, this needs to be corrected in RHEL 6 as well.

Comment 4 Tomas Mraz 2012-09-25 06:49:25 UTC

Kevin, I don't think shipping static libraries just for gpgme tests is necessary. The tests in gpgme can be patched to use the shared libraries during linking.

Comment 5 John Morris 2012-09-26 05:53:17 UTC

Bug #855451:  a patch to the gpgme package to link against shared libs has been submitted.  Thanks fellas.

    John

Erm, Bug #855454, that is.
