$NetBSD: patch-compat_Makefile.am,v 1.1 2015/10/25 11:00:18 wiz Exp $ Revert upstream commit 78d45cc159a0cf1c44feef11a2b9800d9398048e by RĂ©mi Denis-Courmont . Mail asking for that to be applied upstream was turned down: The goal is and always was to link the compat library statically into the VLC plugins. If your OS cannot import symbols from a static library into a dynamic library, then you are screwed and I cannot help you with that. If it theoretically can, but libtool fails anyway, then I cannot help you with that either. --- compat/Makefile.am.orig 2014-06-14 15:14:12.000000000 +0000 +++ compat/Makefile.am @@ -1,7 +1,7 @@ -pkglib_LTLIBRARIES = libcompat.la +noinst_LTLIBRARIES = libcompat.la libcompat_la_SOURCES = dummy.c libcompat_la_LIBADD = $(LTLIBOBJS) -libcompat_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined -static +libcompat_la_LDFLAGS = -no-undefined BUILT_SOURCES = dummy.c CLEANFILES = dummy.c
