Dear Tabix developers, Tabix is being distributed on Ubuntu
Ubuntu is building with --as-needed these days, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NattyNarwhal/ToolchainTransition This caused tabix to fail to build, as it is using LDFLAGS to contain libraries to link against. You can see a failure here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tabix/0.2.5-1/+build/2497856/+files/buildlog_ubuntu-oneiric-i386.tabix_0.2.5-1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz <https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tabix/+bug/803202> You can reproduce it by attempting to build tabix on an Ubuntu Oneiric machine or PPA. Attached is the patch we applied, to do this correctly. regards David Shorten
