Compiling Attitude Adjustment branch from SVN r35608.
I have errors while compiling several packages after selecting CONFIG_SSP_SUPPORT=y
and
CONFIG_PACKAGE_libssp=y
in menuconfig.

Importantly for me, PACKAGE_fwknopd fails to compile (although off the top of my head, another example is PACKAGE_avahi-autoipd). The package compile failures issue the following message:

"Package fwknopd is missing dependencies for the following libraries:
libssp.so.0"

I note that there is a pre-compiled Attitude Adjustment 12.09 Beta package for fwknopd available for download, so what I am I doing wrong? How do you correctly compile with libssp -- especially those packages that require it?

Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a bug in a/some Makefile(s)? Why does it think I'm missing dependencies when libssp.so.0 is in my toolchain and also compiled as a rootfs package?

Proof:

An update, for posterity:
I manually added +libssp to the DEPENDS: sections in the fwknop and avahi Makefiles. Afterwards, these packages compiled fine. I may have overdone the DEPENDS additions, as I added it to the DEPENDS variable in every name space in the Makefiles. I'll do some experimenting, especially for avahi, since there are many different packages defined...

I'll submit a bug report and a patch in the near future. The way I compiled it was a hack, and I want to figure out the correct way first, then generate patches to fix the bugs. Looks like it's maybe just the two package makefiles, avahi and fwknop. I didn't have any other issues when I compiled (but I didn't try to compile all packages, either).

I saw in one of the Makefiles a syntax that looks like:
"+SSP_SUPPORT:libssp"

Am I correct in assuming this means, "if SSP_SUPPORT, then add libssp to the DEPENDS variable"? And is the syntax correct?
