Source: petsc Followup-For: Bug #1049903 Hi Steve, thanks for the bug report.
With patching, wouldn't it be simpler to just add -lstdc++ to CXX_LINKER_FLAGS at configuration time (in debian/rules) rather than hacking the upstream detection code? As you say, hardcoding in the upstream scripts doesn't really resolve the underlying problem. Is there a reason why hacking CXX_LINKER_FLAGS in debian/rules doesn't fix the build? Drew
