From c8cf76dc696e28c541ccfa3416c2ca2cd859b6c8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Sun, 27 Jul 2025 17:21:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] Avoid putting library-supplied -L switches before user-supplied ones. For many optional libraries, we extract the -L and -l switches needed to link the library from a helper program such as llvm-config. In some cases we put the resulting -L switches into LDFLAGS ahead of -L switches specified via --with-libraries. That risks breaking the user's intention for --with-libraries. It's not such a problem if the library's -L switch points to a directory containing only that library, but on some platforms a library helper may "helpfully" offer a switch such as -L/usr/lib that points to a directory holding all standard libraries. If the user specified --with-libraries in hopes of overriding the standard build of some library, the -L/usr/lib switch prevents that from happening since it will come before the user-specified directory. To fix, avoid inserting these switches directly into LDFLAGS during configure, instead adding them to LIBDIRS or SHLIB_LINK. They will still eventually get added to LDFLAGS, but only after the switches coming from --with-libraries. The Meson build scripts may or may not have any comparable problem, but I'll leave it to someone else to investigate that.
