           Summary: GNU nano fails to compile for x86_64
           Product: buildroot
           Version: 2013.08
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5

        AssignedTo: unassigned at buildroot.uclibc.org

GNU nano configure misdetect libmagic from somewhere. I'm not really sure what
is going on, as I digged config.log it tries to link nano agains libmagic.so
which is not provided byt buildroot. Most interesting is that is does no happen
when compiling to x86 or mips64. Only x86_64 is affected. Same build host, same
configuration.

I've fixed it by forcing autoconf env: NANO_CONF_ENV =
ac_cv_lib_magic_magic_open=no

Then it builds fine.

Thanks

Thanks for the report.
Normally libmagic is provided by file, it's possible that your distribution
libmagic is somehow leaking into the build.

Can you test what happens if you enable the file package and then build nano?
(i can't reproduce it locally).
So as to make the workaround conditional on file being available or not.

Thanks.

Confirmed. I enabled file package and now nano compiles just fine. Somehow
libmagic from my distribution is leaking into build, as you said.

And this is not the only one, libncursesw also leaked into the build, resulting
into nano binary linked against it.

Thanks
