configure: Copy mmacosx-version-min option from CFLAGS to WINEPRELOADER_LDFLAGS.
We fail to link preloader when CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.7" (because configure check also includes CFLAGS). Signed-off-by: Piotr Caban <piotr(a)codeweavers.com> --- configure.ac | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+)

To make sure I understand: the problem is that, when CFLAGS already contains "-mmacosx-version-min=10.7", the WINE_TRY_CFLAGS() just above doesn't detect that the preloader needs that flag for linking and it's not added to WINEPRELOADER_LDFLAGS, right? That suggests that WINE_TRY_CFLAGS() isn't the right macro to use for those checks. We'd want a hypothetical WINE_TRY_LDFLAGS(). Or, perhaps, it's enough to temporarily clear CFLAGS around those checks. -Ken

I don't think we can clear CFLAGS completely. It might contain options that are needed during test compilation. We can remove some of the options from CFLAGS but I don't think it's better. The WINE_TRY_LDFLAGS like macro will need to divide the check phase into compilation phase (that uses CFLAGS) and linking phase. This will probably leave a temporary file if configure is killed between this steps. I don't know if it's something that can be done in clean way. Thanks, Piotr

Hmm. We already use AC_LINK_IFELSE() elsewhere. Can we use that here? -Ken

Hmm. We already use AC_LINK_IFELSE() elsewhere. Can we use that here? The WINE_TRY_LDFLAGS uses AC_LINK_IFELSE as well. AC_LINK_IFELSE does compilation and linking steps. It will resolve to something like: gcc -o out $CFLAGS $LDFLAGS source.c
While we would need something like: gcc -c $CFLAGS source.c gcc -o out $LDFLAGS source.o Thanks, Piotr
