All, I am having trouble building the new shadow (4.1.5) from ABS so that libshadow.so.0 is created and installed. I have tried modifying lib/Makefile.am like was done in 4.1.4: #Ugh, force this to build shared libraries, for god's sake sed -i "s/noinst_LTLIBRARIES/lib_LTLIBRARIES/g" lib/Makefile.am But that produces no pkg/lib at all in the build directory. I have also tried setting the --enable-share configure option, but the build fails with that option set: libtool: link: gcc -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -o login login.o login_nopam.o ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/.libs/libshadow.a -lcrypt -lpam -lpam_misc login.o: In function `get_failent_user': login.c:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `getdef_bool' login.o: In function `main': login.c:(.text.startup+0x4ec): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' login.c:(.text.startup+0x517): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' login.c:(.text.startup+0x52f): undefined reference to `getdef_unum' <snip> I know /lib/libshadow.so.0 was dropped in the move from shadow 4.1.4.3-5 > 4.1.5, but is it possible to build the new shadow and have it create libshadow.so.0? If so, how? This might be basic, but obviously I'm ignorant to the solution. Thanks. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
