[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#632150: Tabix does not build for "ld --as-needed" in Ubuntu oneiric

[David Shorten]

Dear Tabix developers,

Tabix is being distributed on Ubuntu

Ubuntu is building with --as-needed these days, see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition


This caused tabix to fail to build, as it is using LDFLAGS to contain
libraries to link against.


You can see a failure here:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tabix/0.2.5-1/+build/2497856/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-i386.tabix_0.2.5-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tabix/+bug/803202>

You can reproduce it by attempting to build tabix on an Ubuntu Oneiric
machine or PPA.

Attached is the patch we applied, to do this correctly.


regards


David Shorten
