#68 xca-0.9.0 fails because of underlinking (GNU gold linker)

[Samuli Suominen]

Original bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371887
Build log: http://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=277205

With GNU gold linker, and propably also with normal GNU linker using -Wl,--no-add-needed (untested), xca-0.9.0 fails to link with undefined symbols.

The patch is simple. Just add search_lib for QtCore in configure file as well.

Thanks for the report. I used "-Wl,--no-add-needed" to reproduce this issue, and kept it in the CFLAGS.

You may try the current snapshot whether it builds in your environment:
