openssh bugs - Dec 2003 - [Bug 770] configure --without-rpath is incomplete

http://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=770

           Summary: configure --without-rpath is incomplete
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: -current
          Platform: Sparc
        OS/Version: Solaris
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Build system
        AssignedTo: openssh-bugs at mindrot.org
        ReportedBy: djast at cs.toronto.edu


The --without-rpath flag to ./configure is supposed to mean "Disable
auto-added
-R linker paths".  However, the "*-*-solaris*" section in
configure.ac contains

    LDFLAGS="$LDFLAGS -L/usr/local/lib -R/usr/local/lib"
    need_dash_r=1

which includes the -R option unconditionally.

Other places within configure.ac (e.g., when determining linker options for
openssl, zlib, etc.) correctly check whether need_dash_r has been unset via
--without-rpath before including -R options for them.

(My autoconf is ancient; Tim sent me the configure script for 3.7.1p2 produced
with the patch applied.)

The fix seems to work for me: the Makefile is produced without the -R option for
/usr/local/lib, as desired, and the 3.7.1p2 client and server compile and run
okay.  Thanks.
