If there is a problem, we need to fix the check in cmake/modules/CheckCLinkerFlag.cmake. Not applied.configure:17893: checking whether we can add -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS configure:17905: gcc -o conftest -g -O2 -Wall -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wpointer-arith -Wno-pointer-sign -Wcast-align -Wformat-security -Wl,--as-needed conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:29: warning: return type defaults to 'int' conftest.c: In function 'main': conftest.c:29: warning: 'return' with no value, in function returning non-void ld: unknown option: --as-needed collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure:17905: $? = 1 configure: failed program was:
That's "the autoconf configure script is finding that, on OS X, you cannot add -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS, because -Wl passes flags directly on to the linker, and the OS X linker (which isn't the GNU linker, just as the SunOS 5.x linker is not the GNU linker, and the linker on some other UN*Xes is not the GNU linker) does not support --as-needed". 1) That's not the configure *failing*, it's the configure finding that you can't use -Wl,--as-needed when linking, and setting up the Makefile not to use it. 2) I was under the impression that CMake was an *alternative* to autoconf, so that the configure script isn't even *used* with CMake. If that's the case, then CMake needs to do the same things that autoconf does here, so that, on platforms where the linker supports --as-needed, we use it, and, on platforms where the linker doesn't support it (OS X isn't the only platform where the linker doesn't support it, so the check should be "does the linker support this flag?", not "is this OS X?"), we don't use it. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
