https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D226989 Bug ID: 226989 Summary: sysutils/installwatch: fails to link with lld as the system linker Product: Ports & Packages Version: Latest Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: Individual Port(s) Assignee: freebsd-ports-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: emaste@freebsd.org Blocks: 214864 I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker (/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in t= he exp-run, PR 214864. An excerpt from the build log[2]: --- ld -shared -o installwatch.so installwatch.o -lc ld: error: unable to find library -lc *** Error code 1 --- Known issues in this port or in lld that affect this port: (2) lld has no built-in search paths (/lib, /usr/lib). Normally the linker = is invoked from the compiler driver, and the search paths are added by the compiler. If lld is invoked directly library search paths must be specified explicitly, with -L/lib -L/usr/lib. FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it= to ld.bfd). A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=3Dyes, exists to indicate that a port does= not work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. = This should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it may have no effect on other ports.
