From octave-maintainers-request at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Mon Dec 13 09:55:29 1999 Subject: 'configure' fail detection of compiler option '-rdynamic' From: Joao Cardoso To: octave-maintainers at bevo dot che dot wisc dot edu Date: Mon, 13 Dec 1999 15:55:10 +0000 Hi, Gcc only issues an warning when the '-rdynamic' option is not supported and appears on the command line. Thus, the compile command don't fail and 'configure' assumes that the option is available. merlin [jcard-54] rm po merlin [jcard-55] gcc -rdynamic po.c -o po gcc: unrecognized option `-rdynamic' merlin [jcard-56] file po po: ELF 32-bit LSB executable 80386 octave-2.1.xx (14 to 21) on sco-3.2v5.0.4 This problem was also reported for another architecture, but I don't remember which one.
