Subject: 28.0.50; OpenBSD pgtk build fails due to the use of libdl
Date: Fri, 10 Sep 2021 02:34:35 +0300

Note: I'm sending this from a Linux machine but this was observed on an
OpenBSD laptop which I currently can't use, however since Emacs 28 is
releasing soon I thought I might as well report this since I happen to
know the solution to this bug.

At some point during a pgtk build (configure --with-pgtk) ld(1) will
error out since it can't find libdl, causing the build to fail.
This occurs since on OpenBSD libdl doesn't exist, instead providing the
same facilities through libc (this is a common issue when porting
programs to OpenBSD).

Workaround:
1. Run ./configure --with-pgtk
2. Open src/Makefile
3. Find the line PGTK_LIBS=...
4. Remove -ldl (the last library listed)
5. Run make

This produces a working Emacs AFAICT.

Sorry for not providing the specific error message returned by ld, and
not reporting this from the affected machine.  If this is critical, I
could try to get that laptop to work again and give some more
information.

Regards,
Daniel

This has been fixed at some point (not sure how to close this bug, or if
I'm even able to do so as the reporter).

Thanks,

The easiest way is to send to <bugno>-done <at> debbugs.gnu.org, like I've
done here.
