With its version 16.0, the LLVM's linker turned on --no-undefined-version by default [1]. This breaks how we detect --version-script= detection, because at the compile time there's no library built yet that we can use to make --version-script= happy. Unfortunately, meson does not provide a way to detect this either [2]. But there's not much sense in detecting the argument either. We already special case some systems (windows, darwin) and do the check for others, which are expected to support versioned symbols, because of ELF. Worst case scenario - the error is reported during compile time rather than configure time. 1: https://reviews.llvm.org/D135402 2: https://github.com/mesonbuild/meson/issues/3047 Resolves: https://bugs.gentoo.org/902211 Signed-off-by: Michal Privoznik <mprivozn(a)redhat.com&gt; --- v2 of: https://listman.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2023-March/238923.html diff to v1: - Instead of fixing the detection, drop it completely. meson.build | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/meson.build b/meson.build index c35823a79a..a0682e8d0b 100644 --- a/meson.build +++ b/meson.build @@ -534,12 +534,7 @@ elif host_machine.system() == 'darwin' # macOS libraries don't support symbol versioning version_script_flags = '' else - test_file = &#39;@0(a)/src/libvirt_qemu.syms&#39;.format(meson.project_source_root()) - if cc.has_link_argument(&#39;-Wl,--version-script=@0(a)&#39;.format(test_file)) - version_script_flags = '-Wl,--version-script=' - else - error('No supported version script link argument found.') - endif + version_script_flags = '-Wl,--version-script=' endif libvirt_flat_namespace = [] -- 2.39.2
