Bug#556345: FTBFS with binutils-gold

[Peter Fritzsche]

Source: shishi
Version: 0.0.40-2
Severity: minor
User: address@hidden
Usertags: no-add-needed

Tried to build your package and it fails to build with GNU binutils-gold. The
important difference is that --no-add-needed is the default behavior of of GNU
binutils-gold. Please provide all needed libraries to the linker when building
your executables.

It is maybe better in your case that libshishi.so gets linked against
the needed libraries to fix that problem. You can use --no-undefined (or
respective -Wl,--no-undefined when linking with g++ or gcc) to check your
libraries if they still have symbols which doesn't get resolved by them.

dpkg-shlibdeps will also print warnings about unresolved symbols when it gets
run in your debian/rules.
