[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] ngrep: fix static linking issue with libpcre

[Romain Naour]

Adding -lpcre in LDFLAGS place the library before object files:
gcc ... -lpcre -L .../sysroot/usr/lib -s -o ngrep ngrep.o -lpcap

Makefile.in is patched to use @LIBS@ for adding -lpcre in the right place.

Fixes:

Thanks, but this patch no longer applies on top of master, and more
importantly, the ngrep-1.45-Makefile.in.patch doesn't apply to the
ngrep sources. Could you rename the ngrep patches to use numbers, i.e
ngrep-01-<foo>.patch, and use a more descriptive name than
ngrep-1.45-Makefile.in.patch?

(Should be done in two patches: one renaming the existing patches, one
adding the pcre static link fix).

Thanks a lot!

Thomas

Hi Thomas,

Ok, I'll send two patches to fix this issue.

Best regards,
Romain
