pepper fails to build on Ubuntu since Natty Narwhal, as Ubuntu now uses the --as-needed linker option by default.
See http://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries for details.
Here's a patch to enable it to build. This is a cleaner, but longer, version of https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3581336&group_id=386093&atid=1604686 It includes some by-hand-reconf-ing.
Patch to build with ld --as-needed
Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the patch! I've fixed some minor things (files not in the index, title, git-am patch format) and pushed it to http://github.com/jgehring/pepper. It will be included in the next release (hopefully soon).
Thanks for your contributing!
