PlatformLinuxOSFedoraOS Versionfc13.x86_64
Summary0000015: DSO Link Issues
DescriptionIt appears that there is a lot of implicit linking with the Pstream library for many of the applications. In Fedora 13 this is no longer allowed:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UnderstandingDSOLinkChange

Running Allwmake results in most of the applications failing to be built.
Steps To ReproduceRunning wmake on (as an example) potentialFoam leads to:

A possible fix would be to change Make/options for (as an example) potentialFoam from

EXE_INC = \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = -lfiniteVolume

to

EXE_INC = \
    -I$(LIB_SRC)/finiteVolume/lnInclude

EXE_LIBS = -L$(FOAM_MPI_LIBBIN) \
           -lPstream \
           -lfiniteVolume

Alternatively the wmake rules could be altered, although I'm not sure how to prevent unnecessary linking to libraries that don't require Pstream.
Additional InformationI wasn't sure whether to report this, but I suppose it's possible that this may become more widespread in other OS's in the future.

Woops, the error message should be:

Thanks for the reference. What a strange behaviour to make default.

Can you try adding -Xlinker --add-needed to the link line? So in $WM_DIR/rules/linux64Gcc/c++ change LINKLIBSO to:

LINKLIBSO = $(CC) $(c++FLAGS) -shared -Xlinker --add-needed

Can you let us know if this works?

I see, the Fedora GCC now has the default option --no-add-needed! Well spotted. I can see why they made the change, although in this case it's just annoying rather than helpful.

This worked, as it was the applications that had the problem:

LINKEXE = $(CC) $(c++FLAGS) -Xlinker --add-needed

I've pushed that into 17x.
