I uploaded tesseract-ocr 2.03-1 with --as-needed, but have had this
bug reported:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=484052
i.e. the test case in the bug report segfaults if tesseract is
compiled with gcc 4.2 with or with --as-needed. If compiled with gcc
4.3, the test case segfault if --as-needed is used, but not otherwise.
Is this a gcc bug?
If I make tesseract depend on gcc 4.3 (is this a good idea?) and take
out --as-needed, what do I do about warnings like:
dpkg-shlibdeps: warning: debian/tesseract-ocr/usr/bin/tesseract
shouldn't be linked with libz.so.1 (it uses none of its symbols).
?
Other than this test case, tesseract works fine.
Regards
Jeff
