[Siproxd-users] Problems when building against external libltdl, and workarounds

[Chí-Thanh C. N. <chi...@cs...>]

Hello,

when building against external libltdl/libtool-2.2, several issues come up.
Doing ./configure && make with libltdl on the system results in:
---
make  all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/siproxd-0.8.0'
Making all in libltdl
make[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/siproxd-0.8.0/libltdl'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `all'.  Stop.
make[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/siproxd-0.8.0/libltdl'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/siproxd-0.8.0'
make: *** [all] Error 2
---
Removing libltdl from SUBDIRS in Makefile.in will make it build, but 
crash on start:
---
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x00002aaaabbe9ac0 in strcmp () from /lib/libc.so.6

Changing src/plugins.h from #include "../libltdl/ltdl.h" to #include 
<ltdl.h> will lead to a new build error:
---
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -Wall -D_GNU_SOURCE -DBUILDSTR=\"5471\" -O2 
-pipe -march=amdfam10 -pthread -D_POSIX_THREAD_SAFE_FUNCTIONS -o siproxd

plugins.o: In function `load_plugins':
plugins.c:(.text+0x283): undefined reference to 
`lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
---
And adding a
#define lt__PROGRAM__LTX_preloaded_symbols lt_libltdl_LTX_preloaded_symbols
will finally make it build successfully and not crash on start.
