There is a typo somewhere in the mikmod which results in a broken /usr/bin/libmikmod-config script: echo $libdir -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L%prefix/lib -L/usr/lib -lm The %prefix breaks makefiles which include it because it cannot be expanded. The %prefix should in fact be ${prefix} not %prefix. Not sure where in the source this problem occurs but it causes annoying warnings when compiling apps which use it. For example: /bin/sh ../../libtool --mode=link gcc -O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -Wall -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-all-loops -finline-functions -ffast-math -m486 -o libmikmod.la -rpath /usr/lib/xmms/Input -module -avoid-version drv_xmms.lo plugin.lo -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lgthread -lglib -lpthread -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -lpthread -L/usr/lib -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L%prefix/lib -L/usr/lib -lm ../../libtool: cd: %prefix/lib: No such file or directory libtool: link: warning: cannot determine absolute directory name of `%prefix/lib' libtool: link: passing it literally to the linker, although it might fail see the problem? Any input? -Stan Bubrouski
This appears to be fixed in the current package (my /usr/bin/libmikmod-config is OK.) This is somewhat odd, in that I don't recall fixing it. :)
Yeah now it says echo $libdir -lmikmod -lpthread -ldl -L${prefix}/lib -L/usr/lib -lm so at some point it seems to have gotten fixed.
