Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 185122
gpgme-config --libs omits -lgpg-error
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:27 EST
Description of problem: /usr/bin/gpgme-config --libs should print -lgpgme -lgpg-error instead it prints -lgpgme only. I see that the following line is commentd-out in /usr/bin/gpgme-config: gpg_error_libs="-lgpg-error" I think it needs to be uncommented. This is a high severity because I am a KDE developer and I can't get some of the KDE modules to compile because of this problem. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. simply run /usr/bin/gpgme-config --libs 2. 3. Actual results: -lgpgme Expected results: -lgpgme -lgpg-error Additional info: BTW, in bugzilla there is no component for gpgme. please add one. So I just put this under the gnupg component. you'll need to move this bug to the correct component (once it has been created)
Fedora Extras has a gpgme component, moving.
IMO, If your code uses stuff from libgpg-error, then *you* should link to it, and not depend on 'gpgme-config --libs' output to do it for you. Furhter, gpgme developers told me in essence that "gpgme-config is for those who do not use libtool." And, AFAIK, KDE apps/code does (should!) use libtool. (-: Now, after all that, you still think there's a problem with leaving -lgpg-error out, then please post a concrete example or code so that I can take a closer look.
Hi Rex. Ok, go ahead and close this bug. I'm solving the problem in a different manner using autoconf.
Glad to hear you got it working.
