Hi, With the build looking so neat and tidy these days, I'm curious if I can clean up one of the things that still bugs me a little! It relates to the fact that I have a 64 bit system. My 64 bit libs are in /usr/lib64, but the link path searches in /usr/lib and thus produces the following: libtool: link: gcc -std=gnu99 -I../../src -I../../src/modules -I../src/modules -pthread -D_POSIX_PTHREAD_SEMANTICS -DPA_BUILDDIR=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/src\" -DPA_DLSEARCHPATH=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/lib/pulse-1.0/modules\" -DPA_DEFAULT_CONFIG_DIR=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/etc/pulse\" -DPA_BINARY=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/bin/pulseaudio\" -DPA_SYSTEM_RUNTIME_PATH=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/var/run/pulse\" -DPA_SYSTEM_CONFIG_PATH=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/var/lib/pulse\" -DPA_SYSTEM_STATE_PATH=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/var/lib/pulse\" -DAO_REQUIRE_CAS -DPULSE_LOCALEDIR=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/share/locale\" -DPA_MACHINE_ID=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/var/lib/dbus/machine-id\" -DPA_ALSA_PATHS_DIR=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/paths\" -DPA_ALSA_PROFILE_SETS_DIR=\"/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/share/pulseaudio/alsa-mixer/profile-sets\" -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wextra -pipe -Wno-long-long -Wvla -Wno-overlength-strings -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations -Wundef -Wformat=2 -Wlogical-op -Wsign-compare -Wformat-security -Wmissing-include-dirs -Wformat-nonliteral -Wold-style-definition -Wpointer-arith -Winit-self -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wfloat-equal -Wmissing-prototypes -Wstrict-prototypes -Wredundant-decls -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-noreturn -Wshadow -Wendif-labels -Wcast-align -Wstrict-aliasing -Wwrite-strings -Wno-unused-parameter -ffast-math -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fno-common -fdiagnostics-show-option -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib64/dbus-1.0/include -Wl,-z -Wl,nodelete -o .libs/pactl pactl-pactl.o ./.libs/libpulse.so -L/usr/lib /home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/src/.libs/libpulsecommon-1.0.so ./.libs/libpulsecommon-1.0.so /usr/lib64/libX11-xcb.so /usr/lib64/libSM.so /usr/lib64/libICE.so /usr/lib64/libXtst.so /usr/lib64/libXi.so /usr/lib64/libXext.so /usr/lib64/libX11.so /usr/lib64/libxcb-atom.so /usr/lib64/libxcb.so /usr/lib64/libXau.so /usr/lib64/libXdmcp.so -lwrap /usr/lib64/libsamplerate.so -lasyncns -ldbus-1 -lpthread /usr/lib64/libsndfile.so /usr/lib64/libFLAC.so /usr/lib64/libvorbisenc.so /usr/lib64/libvorbis.so /usr/lib64/libogg.so -lcap -lrt -ldl -lm -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/colin/Development/Personal/Mageia/pulse/pulseaudio/SOURCES/pulseaudio/build-master/lib /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.so when searching for -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/librt.so when searching for -lrt /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libdl.so when searching for -ldl /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libm.so when searching for -lm /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libpthread.so when searching for -lpthread /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgcc_s.so when searching for -lgcc_s Note the -L/usr/lib just after libpulse.so in the above command. I need to track down where this is introduced. Anyone with an appropriately advanced autotools foo to help me work out where it comes from so I can nuke it?
