Description Ed Maste freebsd_committer

I'm working on switching to LLVM's lld linker as the FreeBSD system linker (/usr/bin/ld)[1], and the port in this PR is reported as a new failure in the exp-run, PR 214864.

An excerpt from the build log[2]:
---
checking the id3lib version... configure: error: could not determine id3lib version
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
---

FreeBSD 11 and later have lld available as /usr/bin/ld.lld, so one simple option for testing is to just symlink /usr/bin/ld to ld.lld (and restore it to ld.bfd).

A port Makefile knob, LLD_UNSAFE=yes, exists to indicate that a port does not work with lld, and requires either /usr/bin/ld.bfd or binutils from ports. This should work for the common case of ports written in C using GNU autoconf; it may have no effect on other ports.

Via tobik@ in ports r465725, BINARY_ALIAS=ld=ld.bfd may be an effective workaround if LLD_UNSAFE does not work.

Hm, in config.log there is more details on this failure:

configure:18938: cc -o conftest -g -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing -I/usr/local/include -DHAVE_GTK  -fstack-protector conftest.c -lid3 -L/usr/local/lib >&5
configure:18938: $? = 0
configure:18938: ./conftest
/usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3: Undefined symbol "_ZTVN10__cxxabiv120__si_class_type_infoE"

It looks like it's really pulling in come c++ stuff:

$ nm --demangle -D /usr/local/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3|grep class
                 U vtable for __cxxabiv1::__class_type_info
                 U vtable for __cxxabiv1::__si_class_type_info
$

I can get it to build by explicitly adding -lstdc++ to id3's LIBS.

I'm not sure though where this comes from and why FreeBSD linker does not complain about that?

  audio/easytag: fix build with lld

  When detecting libid3, make sure to add -lstdc++ to its LIBS, otherwise with
  lld easytag's configure script fails to run its test binaries it complies to
  detect libid3 and fails.

Should be fine now, thanks for report.
