Patch proposal to solve compile failure for Firebird user.
In 4.3.2 was added in config.m4 a test for libgds (following up to bug
#21977 ).
For Interbase user this is ok, but Firebird users receive always this
compile failure:
configure:37594: gcc -o conftest -g -O2
-L/opt/interbase/lib -lgds
conftest.c -lgds -lresolv -lm -ldl -lnsl 1>&5
/opt/interbase/lib/libgds.so: undefined reference to `crypt'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
libgds with Firebird require libcrypt to compile correctly.
and if Firebird is installed with an .rpm or .deb package
we cant' be sure libcrypt is installed .... etc etc.....
I propose to search for the existence of libgds only
without test it, so we skipped the problem about libcrypt required for
Firebird libgds.
I'm going to commit this patch (in HEAD and 4.3.x ) if no one has better
suggestion or comment.
Regards Daniela
