[jira] [Resolved] (SERF-118) scons build not compatible with libtool

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SERF-118?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Greg Stein resolved SERF-118.
-----------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid
      Assignee: Greg Stein

Resolving as "invalid". The serf build process builds a static and a shared library, according to the operating system rules for those libraries. Users of serf need to use the appropriate mechanisms to link against those libraries.

If there is a problem with the libraries we produce, then that's a bug. But giving the right rpath to *Subversion* is Not Our Problem.

>             Project: serf
>          Issue Type: Bug

> *What steps will reproduce the problem?*
> 1. build serf 1.3.0 with scons, using an install prefix that is not in the standard library search path
> 2. build Subversion against serf 1.3.0 
> Now Subversion binaries cannot run because libserf-1.so cannot be found.
> Adding the $(PREFIX)/serf/lib directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH works around the issue.
> Manually passing an rpath to the Subversion build process works around the issue, too:
>   make EXTRA_LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,$(PREFIX)/serf/lib"
> Before serf-1.3.0 this linker argument was handled by libtool.
> Can serf please be fixed so that this works out of the box again?
