hardcoded references to libdl in build system

Two Makefile directly use "-ldl". This library does not exist e.g. on NetBSD where the corresponding functions are in libc. Please use $(LIBDL) instead, like in many other places already.

The affected files are: tests/suite/Makefile.am and fuzz/Makefile.am

Would you like to submit it as a merge request? Even better, would you like to help setting up a netbsd CI to make sure that we don't break in the future?

Merge request is here: !503 (merged)

How can I help with the NetBSD CI?

Here are some instructions how to set up an Amazon EC2 instance: https://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/ https://bsdmag.org/neybsd_aws/

Ok, so if I understand on aws I can deploy a netbsd image. What would I need to run on it to have all the packages needed to compile gnutls? (i.e., the packages listed in README.md). If you can provide that information it would be great help.

It should hopefully be as easy as:

export PKG_PATH=ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/packages/NetBSD/amd64/7.1/All/
/usr/sbin/pkg_add gmake gsed perl pkg-config lzo libiconv autogen gmp libcfg+ libtasn1 nettle libunistring

where "7.1" depends on the actual release version of NetBSD you install.

Unfortunately there seem to be no NetBSD images on EC2. The instructions on the site are quite old. I've used FreeBSD instead in !506 (closed)

I haven't tried it myself, but https://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/amis/ list NetBSD 7.0 AMIs. Are they all gone?

I tried few options and didn't work. Searching for NetBSD also. Is there enough similarity in the libraries of NetBSD and FreeBSD to assume that if one passes, the other one would most likely do too? (kernel doesn't matter here much as our dependencies are mostly user-space)

It's closer than Linux, but there big differences as well, including different libraries that do (not) exist in the base system. I'll ask around about NetBSD on EC2.

I just got confirmation that the instructions in the wiki still work (https://wiki.netbsd.org/amazon_ec2/). Here's a screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/11J2OTr.png You must look in the Community AMIs Section.

Thanks. I'm still unable to find such image, but doesn't matter. I think I'll keep the freebsd variant at the moment as it is up and running and is sufficient for portability checking (the only non-linux OS).
