Subject: [PATCH] perf: Fix library detection when building without libelf
Date: Wed, 23 Oct 2013 22:51:09 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1382583069-26121-1-git-send-email-patrick@parcs.ath.cx> (raw)

When I attempt to build perf on a system with slang but without libelf,
'make' would wrongly complain that the slang library could not be found.

It turns out that this was happening because we are not filtering -lelf
from EXTLIBS early enough.  As a result, the library test for slang
(ditto for gtk, libaudit, etc) erroneously passes -lelf to try-cc, which
of course fails on a system without libelf.

This patch makes the filtering of -lelf from EXTLIBS occur right after
testing for libelf support, so that the subsequent library tests will
not erroneously pass -lelf to try-cc when building without libelf
support.
