Re: Re: bind_textdomain_codeset error while building gnomevfs

[Robert Staudinger <robert stereolyzer net>]

Sorry but my bug report wasn't exactly right.

At the moment I'm building 0.10 on my debian potato and it seems like the settings in gar.conf.mk don't make a single package build (only from those which would otherwise spit an undefined reference to bind_textdomain_codeset of course).

--with-gnu-ld doesn't seem to be required (for "problem garballs"?)
adding -L/opt/gnome2/lib/libgettextlib.so or /opt/gnome2/lib/libgettextlib.so to the LDFLAGS in gar.conf.mk doesn't do the job.

What works for me is the painful way
when the build stops:
- open terminal 2
- make sure $(prefix)/bin is in the PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH contains $(prefix)/lib and LDFLAGS=/opt/gnome2/lib/libgettextlib.so is set
- get ./configure arguments from config.log
- make clean, reconfigure, make, make install
- continue make install in terminal 1

What I don't understand is why the settings from gar.conf.mk don't seem to effect the build (esp. LDFLAGS).

Hope that wasn't too confused.
Any suggestions how to ease the process are welcome.
