[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48407] libinterp fails to link to libz

[Rik]

Follow-up Comment #4, bug #48407 (project octave):

As Mike said, Octave 4.2.0 is set for release in two months and it is more
interesting whether we need to change anything for that release.  I know when
I build on Linux I have '-lz' inserted automatically.

The code on the development branch is in configure.ac which becomes
configure.


if test $ENABLE_DYNAMIC_LINKING = yes; then
  LIBOCTINTERP_LINK_DEPS=""
else
  LIBOCTINTERP_LINK_DEPS="$DLDFCN_LIBS"
fi

LIBOCTINTERP_LINK_DEPS="$LIBOCTINTERP_LINK_DEPS $FT2_LIBS $HDF5_LIBS
$MAGICK_LIBS $Z_LIBS $FFTW_XLIBS $OPENGL_LIBS $FONTCONFIG_LIBS $FREETYPE_LIBS
$X11_LIBS $CARBON_LIBS $GL2PS_LIBS $LLVM_LIBS $JAVA_LIBS $LAPACK_LIBS"


As long as you have dynamic linking you should have Z_LIBS in your linking.


For stable, you can try the attached diff.  But you will need to have all the
development tools as it will need to rebuild the configure script.  If you
have it, then apply with


patch -p1 < Z_LIB.diff
