Summary: SDL can't link libstdc++.r4 on x86_64 Haiku Nightly pre-alpha R5
Product: SDL Reporter: Vitaly Novichkov <admin>
Component: videoAssignee: Ryan C. Gordon <icculus>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED QA Contact: Sam Lantinga <slouken>
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2 CC: icculus
Version: HG 2.1   
Hardware: x86_64   
OS: Haiku   

Description Vitaly Novichkov 2017-08-06 23:56:26 UTC 
Linker fails to link libstdc++.r4 (libstdc++.r4.so). To escape this, I did the workaround: I have created a symbolic link to /boot/system/lib/libstdc++.so.6 and named as libstdc++.r4.so, and I have placed it into prefix folder which I have defined on ./configure running, and linking has been passed.

I built SDL2 via "Autotools".

configure.in explicitly lists this file at the moment, but the correct solution that should work everywhere is if we can coerce the configure script to link the library with g++ instead of gcc and not mention libstdc++ at all, but only on Haiku.

Not sure what needs to be done to make that happen.

I couldn't coerce libtool to use g++; even when explicitly requested, it switches it out with gcc.  Weird.

I did a different workaround in https://hg.libsdl.org/SDL/rev/ab9d4689a439 and made sure it worked on both x86 and x86-64 Haiku releases, though, so this should be fixed now.
