[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#576707: thunar: does not build with gold linker

[Jeremy Lal]

Package: thunar
Version: 1.0.1-3
Severity: minor

I got errors trying to debuild thunar packages from source, using binutils-gold.
A quick search on google hints it's a gold linker problem, see :
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=554305
I point to this page since the solution seems quite easy,
and also made sure thunar packages build ok without binutils-gold.

Here's the build error :
/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: ../../thunar-vfs/.libs/libthunar-vfs-1.so: error: undefined reference to 'XInternAtom'
/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: ../../thunar-vfs/.libs/libthunar-vfs-1.so: error: undefined reference to 'XGetWindowProperty'
/usr/bin/ld.gold.real: ../../thunar-vfs/.libs/libthunar-vfs-1.so: error: undefined reference to 'XFree'
