Hi, This should be easy to reproduce if you don't have a global installed libmount. $ sudo mkdir /usr/lib64/away $ sudo mv /usr/lib64/libmount.* /usr/lib64/away $ ./configure --disable-use-tty-group \ --prefix=/tmp/dest \ --with-python \ --without-systemd \ --enable-pylibmount \ --enable-libmount \ --enable-libblkid $ make $ sed -i 's/\(link_all_deplibs\)=.*/\1=no/' ./libtool $ rm -rf /tmp/dest $ make install /usr/bin/mkdir -p '/tmp/dest/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libmount' /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /usr/bin/install -c pylibmount.la '/tmp/dest/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libmount' libtool: install: warning: relinking `pylibmount.la' libtool: install: (cd /tmp/util-linux; /bin/sh /tmp/util-linux/libtool --silent --tag CC --mode=relink gcc -std=gnu99 -fsigned-char -fno-common -Wall -Werror=sequence-point -Wextra -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-parameter-type -Wmissing-prototypes -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wredundant-decls -Wsign-compare -Wtype-limits -Wuninitialized -Wunused-but-set-parameter -Wunused-but-set-variable -Wunused-parameter -Wunused-result -Wunused-variable -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -I/usr/include/python2.7 -I./libmount/src -fno-strict-aliasing -g -O2 -avoid-version -module -shared -export-dynamic -o pylibmount.la -rpath /tmp/dest/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libmount libmount/python/pylibmount_la-pylibmount.lo libmount/python/pylibmount_la-fs.lo libmount/python/pylibmount_la-tab.lo libmount/python/pylibmount_la-context.lo libmount.la -lpython2.7 ) /usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.8/../../../../x86_64-suse-linux/bin/ld: cannot find -lmount collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status libtool: install: error: relink `pylibmount.la' with the above command before installing it make[3]: *** [install-pylibmountexecLTLIBRARIES] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/tmp/util-linux' make[2]: *** [install-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/util-linux' make[1]: *** [install-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/util-linux' make: *** [install] Error 2 Unfortunately some systems set per default link_all_deplibs=no instead of "unknown" in ./libtool. Don't know whether this is a bug in libtool or automake macros. But we could work around this if we would make sure to install pylibmount always after libmount. This is how it looks in Makefile.in: install-exec-am: install-binPROGRAMS install-dist_usrbin_execSCRIPTS \ install-pylibmountexecLTLIBRARIES \ install-pylibmountexecSCRIPTS install-sbinPROGRAMS \ install-usrbin_execPROGRAMS install-usrlib_execLTLIBRARIES \ install-usrsbin_execPROGRAMS @$(NORMAL_INSTALL) $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) install-exec-hook How could we force to put install-pylibmountexecLTLIBRARIES after install-usrlib_execLTLIBRARIES Or could we force somehow to disable that relinking? cu, Rudi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe util-linux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
