[asterisk-bugs] [JIRA] Updated: (ASTERISK-20407) Asterisk compilation doesn't set rpath when --prefix is something other that /usr

[David M. Lee (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-20407?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

David M. Lee updated ASTERISK-20407:
------------------------------------

    Description: 
When Asterisk is compiled with {{--prefix}} set to something other than {{/usr}}, it fails to startup on Linux.

{code:none}
$ ./configure --prefix=/opt/asterisk
$ make all install
$ /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
/opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk: error while loading shared libraries: libasteriskssl.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
{code}

This is because the Asterisk build scripts do not to set the {{-rpath}} [linker option|http://linux.die.net/man/1/ld], which would allow the {{asterisk}} executable to automagically find the {{libasteriskssl.so}} shared object. This wasn't a problem before Asterisk 11, because there were no non-system shared objects for Asterisk to link to at startup.

h3. Workarounds

# Specify the linker flag to configure
{code:none}
$ LDFLAGS="-Wl,-rpath,/opt/asterisk/lib" ./configure --prefix=/opt/asterisk
{code}
# Specify {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} when launching
{code:none}
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/asterisk/lib
$ /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
{code}
# Use [{{chrpath}}|http://linux.die.net/man/1/chrpath] to add rpath to the exe after the fact.
{code:none}
$ chrpath -r /opt/asterisk/lib /opt/asterisk/sbin/asterisk
{code}

Comma is more portable than equals. Whatever...
