>Description:
The packages dict-client & dict-server don't compile. They bomb out
when trying to run configure in the libmaa directory. The problem is
that somehow the environment variable LIBS is getting set to -lmaa
(which of course doesn't yet exist at that point).
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/dict-client; make update
cd /usr/pkgsrc/textproc/dict-server; make update
>Fix:
I believe the makefile that handles GNU configuration needs to be
fixed; perhaps LIBS is getting set in the previous run of configure
(in libmaa's parent dir).
A dumb, but expedient, work around is to patch libmaa/configure so
that the first command run is:
unset LIBS
