Bug#773094: atomix: FTBFS with ld --as-needed

Package: atomix
Version: 2.14.0-5
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

In Ubuntu, we use ld --as-needed by default in the toolchain, and you package fails to build from source with that option enabled because of the way libraries are linked.

Even though Debian doesn't use ld --as-needed by default, it is a good idea to make this change so that (1) we don't have to maintain a delta and (2) you don't need to change anything in case Debian makes this default in the future.

You can read more about this option here: https://wiki.debian.org/ToolChain/DSOLinking#Only_link_with_needed_libraries

In Ubuntu, the attached patch was applied to achieve the following:

  * debian/patches/underlinking.diff: Restore Robie Basak's patch from
    2.14.0-2ubuntu2 to build with -lm to fix an underlinking FTBFS.
  * Use dh-autoreconf so that the patch is applied.
  * Remove unnecessary -lm addition in debian/rules for LDFLAGS.

Thanks for considering the patch.

Logan Rosen
