I've been trying to build a 3rd party Xserver but have run into some difficulty when trying to link two xfree86 libraries to it (libXfont and libdix)
During the link I'm getting warnings about multiple definitions of various symbols defined in libXfont and in libdix (output below). The curious thing is this only happens if I try to link the Xserver w/ a static libXfont. The machine I am working with is an sh3 for which I don't currently have support for shared libs. However, the same problem can be duplicated when linking the Xsun Xserver by linking it against a static libXfont instead of shared. 1) What exactly is going on here and why doesn't it blow up like this when linking a shared version of libXfont? 2) How might I deal with this problem, so I can actually get my Xserver up and running? Thanks! /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.data+0x0): multiple definition of `serverGeneration' /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/dix/libdix.a(globals.o)(.data+0x50): first defined here /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.text+0x78): In function `CopyISOLatin1Lowered': : multiple definition of `CopyISOLatin1Lowered' /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/dix/libdix.a(dixutils.o)(.text+0x78): first defined here /var/tools/shle--netbsdelf/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `CopyISOLatin1Lowered' changed from 96 in /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/dix/libdix.a(dixutils.o) to 102 in /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/dix/libdix.a(dixutils.o) /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/os/libos.a(utils.o)(.text+0x1350): In function `Xfree': : multiple definition of `Xfree' /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.text+0x44): first defined here /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/os/libos.a(utils.o)(.text+0x12a4): In function `Xrealloc': : multiple definition of `Xrealloc' /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.text+0x18): first defined here /var/tools/shle--netbsdelf/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `Xrealloc' changed from 44 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) to 116 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/os/libos.a(utils.o)(.text+0x121c): In function `Xcalloc': : multiple definition of `Xcalloc' /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.text+0x60): first defined here /var/tools/shle--netbsdelf/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `Xcalloc' changed from 24 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) to 56 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) /x/obj/sh3el//usr/src/x11/Xserver/os/libos.a(utils.o)(.text+0x1198): In function `Xalloc': : multiple definition of `Xalloc' /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here /var/tools/shle--netbsdelf/bin/ld: Warning: size of symbol `Xalloc' changed from 24 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) to 7 2 in /x/obj/sh3el/usr/src/destdir.sh3el/usr/X11R6/lib/libXfont.a(miscutil.o) _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
