Description Björn Jacke 2010-11-26 12:16:44 UTC
otherwise during configure:

checking GNU ld release version minor...
./configure: line 11878: test: : integer expression expected
./configure: line 11878: test: : integer expression expected
./configure: line 11881: test: : integer expression expected

and possibly build failures later on.

to fix it in 3.5 70a7da0e101910e3ceb08b86d4b840b219e24d7d needs to be cherry-picked. Metze, can you plasee review and reassign to Karo if you're fine with it?
Comment 2 Stefan Metzmacher 2011-05-19 06:18:56 UTC
Karolin please pick for the next 3.5. release if this applies to v3-5-test
Comment 3 Karolin Seeger 2011-05-20 19:03:19 UTC
Pushed to v3-5-test.
Closing out bug report.

Thanks!
Comment 4 Björn Jacke 2013-02-19 11:19:43 UTC
this needs to be reopened I guess. The redirection of stderr to stdout is being mixed ugly on one line when being grep'ed:

FYI.

Newer GNU ld -v does not contain the release date in the version information:

  $ ld -v
  GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.22

That is why source3/configure in Samba 3.6.12 cannot detect newer GNU ld.

patch that resolves the stdout/stderr mess up

please test this patch. It works for me. It tests once on stdout and if there was no result it tests in a second run on stderr.
Comment 7 Thomas Bork 2013-02-19 19:49:12 UTC
This results in

checking if the linker used by compiler is GNU ld... yes
./configure: line 7798: test: too many arguments
checking GNU ld release date...
checking GNU ld release version... 2.19
checking GNU ld release version major... 2
checking GNU ld release version minor... 19

here.

Must be:

if test -z "$ac_cv_gnu_ld_version" ; then

And not:

if test -z ${ac_cv_gnu_ld_version} ; then


Thank you :)

This patch does not output "test: too many arguments" anymore for me.
