Current getstream fails to link when compiling with --as-needed gcc option. This happens because libraries to link defined before objects, but --as-needed requires objects then libraries to link. I suggest small patch for Makefile: all: getstream tsdecode tsdecode: $(OBJ-tsdecode) - gcc $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $+ + gcc -o $@ $+ $(LDFLAGS) getstream: $(OBJ-getstream) - gcc $(LDFLAGS) -o $@ $+ + gcc -o $@ $+ $(LDFLAGS) clean: Some reading about --as-needed : http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/asneeded.xml By the way, latest getstream packages for openSUSE 11.1, 11.2, 11.3 in my buildservice project: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=getstream&project=home:Highw... and repository: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/HighwayStar:/sandbox/
