perf build: Fix library not found error when using CSLIBS
[ Upstream commit 1feece2780ac2f8de45177fe53979726cee4b3d1 ]
-L only specifies the search path for libraries directly provided in the
link line with -l. Because -lopencsd isn't specified, it's only linked
because it's a dependency of -lopencsd_c_api. Dependencies like this are
resolved using the default system search paths or -rpath-link=... rather
than -L. This means that compilation only works if OpenCSD is installed
to the system rather than provided with the CSLIBS (-L) option.
This could be fixed by adding -Wl,-rpath-link=$(CSLIBS) but that is less
conventional than just adding -lopencsd to the link line so that it uses
-L. -lopencsd seems to have been removed in commit ed17b1914978eddb
("perf tools: Drop requirement for libstdc++.so for libopencsd check")
because it was thought that there was a chance compilation would work
even if it didn't exist, but I think that only applies to libstdc++ so
there is no harm to add it back. libopencsd.so and libopencsd_c_api.so
would always exist together.
Testing
=======
The following scenarios now all work:
* Cross build with OpenCSD installed
* Cross build using CSLIBS=...
* Native build with OpenCSD installed
* Native build using CSLIBS=...
* Static cross build with OpenCSD installed
* Static cross build with CSLIBS=...
