Description Michael Adam 2014-04-11 10:43:21 UTC 
When a library or system (like cups) provides an RPATH,
e.g. with -Wl,-R or -Wl,-rpath, this was added by waf
to the LINKFLAGS, wich was later prepended to our RPATH.
But if the path by chance contains an older version of
one of our internal libraries like talloc, this would lead
to linking the too old talloc into our binaries.

This has been observed on, e.g., FreeBSD, but it is a general
problem.

Since the patch is pushed to the branches, shouldn't the bug be switchet to resolved?

This fix is completely broken I'm afraid and either needs reverting or fixing.

Take a look at:

https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11165

for details.

Waf is a broken build system, does not correctly cross compile, has wasted 6+ hours of my time and WE MUST MOVE AWAY FROM IT !

Jeremy, could you please stop hijacking bugs?
We should have a bug for failure to cross-compile.

And this would imho be a feature enhancement, since
for all I can tell, this never worked for our waf build.
But maybe I am wrong.

Anyways. This bug here is fixed. The freebsd build works just fine.

And the error that shows up in the description of bug #11165 has no relationship to the patches attached to this bug. the linkflags.remove(x) does not appear in these patches.

Closing the bug again and removing the misleading dependency.
