System: NetBSD mixed.wongs.net 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) #1: Sun Nov 19 21:42:11 MET 2000 fvdl@sushi:/work/trees/netbsd-1-5/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC i386


>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
