[vlc-devel] [PATCH] configure: disable -z defs linker check for OpenBSD.

[Brad Smith]

configure: disable -z defs linker check for OpenBSD.

When linking libvlccore with -z defs, the following happens:

ld: error: undefined symbol: (daemon / getpid / fprintf / fclose / free / etc.)
>>> referenced by libvlc.c
>>>               .libs/libvlc.o:(libvlc_InternalInit)

Shared libraris on OpenBSD are not linked against libc thus this is expected.
-z defs cannot be used for shared libaries if they reference any libc functions.
