Subject: -lgcrypt -lgpg-error should not be required
Building on a machine without any gnome-tools - particularly not pkg-config - the Makefile.PL inserts ' -lgcrypt -lgpg-error' as libs in $exslt_defaults. This is harmful if the installation does not have libgcrypt or libpg-error installed - as is the case on out RHEL5 server. The two libs were added due to bug #25525. Trying to discover which lib are necccesary is hard - very hard. But this solution is IMHO not optimal. Our workaround was to patch Makefile.PL...

I have removed these defaults in the SVN versions, we'll see what new reports it will bring. Anyway, pkg-config for libexslt is consulted so if there is a dependency on these libraries and the system provides pkg-config files, the Makefile.PL should be able to find out. -- Petr Dne st 25.úno.2009 09:04:32, HTOUG napsal(a): Show quoted text
