undefined reference to `libintl_bindtextdomain'

I have built this against libfswatch 1.13.0 without problems. Using FreeBSD 16 (-CURRENT as of Mar 2026) on amd64.

When building downstream project such as ada_language_server on FreeBSD the final link stage refers to libfswatch.a, but the linker cannot find important symbols such as:

undefined reference to `libintl_bindtextdomain'
undefined reference to `std::bad_array_new_length::bad_array_new_length()
undefined reference to `std::__1::mutex::~mutex()

It seems that libintl and libstdc++ are not linked.

libtool libfswatch.la tells us we shall include the following flags when linking the fswatch library:

> grep ^dependency_libs ./libfswatch/src/libfswatch/libfswatch.la
dependency_libs=' -R/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/local/lib -lintl -lpthread'

/usr/local/lib is FreeBSD specific, but the dependency on intl and threads is universal.

Shouldn't those flags go into the GPR file to let Ada Language Server know it shall use additional flags? How does it work on your platforms?

linking step log

Start with the libfswatch.la dependency_libs entry and the linked linking step log, then inspect the repository's GPR file and reproduce the final link on FreeBSD 16. Done means the Ada Language Server link resolves the libintl, C++ standard library, and thread symbols without requiring undocumented platform-specific flags.
