Package: libyajl-dev Version: 2.1.0-2 Severity: important Linking against the shared libyajl library works as expected, but linking against the static version causes missing symbol errors.
The easiest way to test this is to use the example that comes with upstream libyajl, available here: https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/blob/master/example/parse_config.c The following command works: $ gcc -lyajl -o p parse_config.c But the following command does not: $ gcc -lyajl_s -o p parse_config.c /tmp/ccffEaZO.o: In function `main': parse_config.c:(.text+0xc4): undefined reference to `yajl_tree_parse' parse_config.c:(.text+0x199): undefined reference to `yajl_tree_get' parse_config.c:(.text+0x213): undefined reference to `yajl_tree_free' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Thanks, -George -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.4 APT prefers stable-updates APT policy: (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages libyajl-dev depends on: ii libyajl2 2.1.0-2 libyajl-dev recommends no packages. libyajl-dev suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
