[MEncoder-users] ./configure ignores --extra-libs= while checking for features

[Moritz Barsnick]

Hi,

due to some peculiar behavior, I noticed that ./configure is missing
the proper use of --extra-libs= during feature check.

The function compile_check() passes the flags from the variables
$_libs_mplayer and $_libs_mencoder to the compiler, but fails to do so
with $_extra_libs, which is a more generic equivalent of the two.

I had some libs explicitly stated with --extra-libs= (e.g. X11), but
compile_check() didn't pick these us, and therefore some checks failed.
(In my case it failed to pick up my specific X11 dir containing
libXv.so, and the created binary was linked with -lXv, but didn't have
the appropriate RPATH from my command line, so the binary refused to
execute.)

An easy, but I think correct, fix is attached.

(SVN r24015)

Thanks for listening. :)

Regards,
Moritz
