Bug description:DB4/DB5 configure library lookup broken
--build=x86_64-linux-gnu is passed
Description:
------------
First DB4/DB5 library lookup is far to simple.
Lookups are done for /usr/lib/libdb.a then /usr/lib/libdb.so in that
order.
First problem is there's no consideration of 'shared', which if specified
should
reverse the search looking for .so before .a as they usually both exist.
Second problem is when --build=x86_64-linux-gnu (or any other value) is
passed
no consideration is given. This means /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu libraries
are
ignored.
Neither --with-libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu or
--libdir=x86_64-linux-gnu
have any effect.
Third problem is diagnostics as many systems may have multiple copies of DB
installed. Be great to echo the info out of /usr/include/db.h as in...
DB_VERSION_{MAJOR,RELEASE,MINOR,PATCH} to clarify what's occurring.
Probably logic similar to libcurl is a good place to start.
Ugly fix is ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdb-5.1.so /usr/lib/.
Expected result:
----------------
Use all /usr/lib/(--build) libraries if --build is specified.
Actual result:
--------------
--build is ignored.
