Subject: [PATCH v3] tools: perf: fix linker error when libelf config is disabled
Date: Wed,  4 Jan 2017 17:30:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1483551002-26501-1-git-send-email-sudeep.holla@arm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1483545363-11393-1-git-send-email-sudeep.holla@arm.com>

When libelf is disabled in the configuration, we get the following
linker error:
  LINK     libperf-jvmti.so
  ld: cannot find -lelf
  Makefile.perf:515: recipe for target 'libperf-jvmti.so' failed

Jiri pointed out that both librt and libelf are not really required. So
this patch fixes the linker error by getting rid of unwanted libraries
in the linker stage.

Fixes: 209045adc2bb ("perf tools: add JVMTI agent library")

v2->v3:
	- Corrected the original commit under "Fixes:" tag that
	  introduced the libraries initially
v1->v2:
	- Dropped libelf and librt as they are not required
