When building XFree86 4.2.0 on my linux machine, I get link errors for
the programs xcmsdb, xev, xmodmap and xwud.
The error message is always (here the one from xcmsdb):
gcc -o xcmsdb -O2 -fno-strength-reduce -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith
-L../../exports/lib xcmsdb.o loadData.o -lX11
-Wl,-rpath-link,../../exports/lib
/lib/libdl.so.2: undefined reference to `atexit'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [xcmsdb] Fehler 1
I can resolve all link errors by appending "-ldl" to LOCAL_LIBRARIES
in the makefiles. Is this a known build problem or is there something
wrong on my machine? Does xcmsdb really use something from
libdl.so? ("grep -- dl" on the sources showed nothing, but most
probably this is not accurate enough.)
Can someone enlighten me? When responding, please mail also to my
personal address, I not subscribed to the list.
If it matters, here some details of my machine:
