Odd ld error (cannot find dispatch)

[Patryk Laurent]

Hi,

On Debian 9, libdispatch has been successfully compiled and installed.  Yet when make in GNUstep-base is running, I get "/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldispatch".

This is odd, because -L/usr/local/lib is in that line.  And libdispatch.so is in /usr/local/lib.

Does anyone know why ld might not be finding libdispatch on a path supplied to it?

Thank you,

Patryk
