[PATCH] bdb library names
Good morning (almost afternoon)!
I'm currently using the 'all-static' patch to provide a static compiled
packages which can easily be used in old machines. When using this patch
a small issue is raised by the way the berkeley db is currently
detected.
Usually bdb has either a link named "libdb4.so" or simply "libdb.so",
which is correctly detected by subversion. OTOH, these links are
pointing to a library named "libdb-4.0.{la,so,a}". When compiling the
dynamic version there's no problem, since it's happy enough to link
with "libdb{,4}.so", but when compiling statically, it looks for a
library named "libdb4.{la,a}", which doesn't exist.
The small patch bellow includes "db-4.0" as the first option for
berkeley db detection, fixing this problem. This should not affect
normal compilation (famous last words :-).
(Perhaps it could be even the only option detected, but I haven't
done an extensive research to check if every distribution is using
the same naming conventions)
* configure.in: Include db-4.0 as first option for detecting bdb.

Just include db-4.1 as the first option, or forget it completely. I can
handle it by myself.

What about db-4.1, then? We just went through a lot of pain to make the
4.0/4.1 detection automagic and symmetric -- your patch breaks that just
a bit.
