brotli pkg-config files seem to be defective in slackware64-current

chrisVV · 09-17-2020, 05:49 AM

The /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libbrotlicommon.pc, /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libbrotlienc.pc and /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libbrotlidec.pc pkg-config files contains this link-time option in the Libs field, in addition to the more normal -L link-time option:

Code:

-R${libdir}

gcc does not accept the -R option and this causes amongst other things libsoup to fail to compile. Omitting the -R option enables compilation to proceed.

yes, looking at the upstream git it seems they have reverted the -R${libdir} addition
