How to deal with "error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line"

[Andreas Tille <andreas@an3as.eu>]

Hi,

when trying to build the latest artha version which is in SVN at

   svn://anonscm.debian.org/debian-science/packages/artha/trunk/

I end up with


libtool: link: gcc -Wall -Wextra -std=c99 -pedantic -Wno-unused-parameter -fstrict-aliasing -Wno-missing-field-initializers -pthread -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/gio-unix-2.0/ -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/libpng12 -I/usr/include/libdrm -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED=1 -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dbus-1.0/include -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -o .libs/artha mod_notify.o suggestions.o hotkey_editor.o gui.o eggaccelerators.o tomboyutil.o instance_handler.o  libwni.a /usr/lib/libwordnet.so -lX11 -ldbus-1 -ldbus-glib-1 -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -pthread

I checked this issue in BTS and there are some links to #712140.  I have
no idea whether this is really connected.  My try to solve this somehow
was to use dh-autoreconf - but this did not helped at all.

Any ideas?

Kind regards

     Andreas.
