Hello,

My previous post was not clear.
It was a *standard* configure log, just to point that the linker does not support "--as-needed".

if i do a cmake configure it will fail on big endian test :

"
CMake Error at /opt/local/share/cmake-2.8/Modules/TestBigEndian.cmake:44 (MESSAGE):
  no suitable type found
Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:357 (test_big_endian) 
"

looking at CMakeError.log, it seems that all links fail cause "--as-needed" is used

example :

"

Determining size of unsigned long failed with the following output:

"

and there is a lot of other tests that fail ... this why i disable "--as-needed" for mac.

"Push", in this context, means "a technology that was, at one point, hyped, but didn't take over the world in the fashion that the hype predicted":
