           Summary: -ldl should not be hardcoded into OPENGL_LIBS
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: Unspecified
        OS/Version: Unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: WebKit Gtk
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: tetromino at gentoo.org
                CC: gnome at gentoo.org


(As reported downstream at https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417523)

Some non-linux systems, for example freebsd, have dlopen()/dlclose()/dlsym() etc. in their core libc, and do not install a separate libdl. On such systems, "-ldl" in OPENGL_LIBS leads to linking failure.

webkit's configure should check whether libc provides dlopen, and add -ldl to OPENGL_LIBS only if it's needed.
