Hello,

I've been having some terrible problems compiling various packages, 
appartently due to some kind of buildlink/libstdc++ problems.

This is on Slackware.

Either the build will fail at some point because it can't find 
<package>/work/.buildlink/lib/libstdc++.la or there are really verbose 
"undefined reference" warnings or both.

Is there some secret to get buildlink and libstdc++ to play nice?

I'm trying to get meta-pkgs/kde3 built for Linux and it doesn't get very 
far. I've been able to get qt3-libs and qt3-tools to build. I'm not sure 
I can trust these builds, however, because of some "undefined reference" 
warnings. There's no testing either, because arts won't build for the 
same problem.

These slackware packages are installed...

$ ls /var/adm/packages|grep gcc
gcc-3.2.3-i486-2
gcc-g++-3.2.3-i486-1

... I kind of expected those to handle these issues. It seems that 
sometimes buildlink is able to make itself aware of libstdc++.la and 
sometimes it isn't, perhaps depending on the package.

For some reason, though these problems don't exist on NetBSD, so I don't 
believe I can blame buildlink.

It would appear that I'm missing something important to get things 
working smoothly on Linux. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Louis
