The following issue has been REOPENED. ====================================================================== http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3666 ====================================================================== Reported By: John Ellson Assigned To: ====================================================================== Project: gdk_pixbuf Issue ID: 3666 Category: packaging Reproducibility: always Severity: minor Priority: normal Status: feedback ====================================================================== Date Submitted: 2009-05-12 15:32 CEST Last Modified: 2009-05-12 19:21 CEST ====================================================================== Summary: libgdk_pixbuf.la references non-existent .la files, breaks graphviz builds Description: Building graphviz fails with:
/bin/bash ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -g -version-info 6:0:0 -L/opt/csw/lib -o libgvplugin_gdk_pixbuf.la -rpath /opt/csw/lib/graphviz gvplugin_gdk_pixbuf.lo gvdevice_gdk_pixbuf.lo ../../lib/gvc/libgvc.la -L/opt/csw/lib -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lintl grep: /opt/csw/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la: No such file or directory I believe this error is originating from: /opt/csw/lib/libgmodule-2.0.la which contains a reference to this non-existent file. (Also to ls: /opt/csw/lib/libgobject-2.0.la and /opt/csw/lib/libglib-2.0.la) A more general question is: why are .la files being installed at all by opencsw? I don't understand all the rationale, but I note that Fedora does not install any .la files. ====================================================================== ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006105) John Ellson (reporter) - 2009-05-12 16:13 http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3666#c6105 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Correction: I believe the problem originates in the installed: /opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la which references the non-existent files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006106) dam (reporter) - 2009-05-12 16:34 http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3666#c6106 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- .la files were included in the past, but the current policy is to exclude them: <http://www.opencsw.org/standards/build> New packages should take care to EXCLUDE libtool .la files. They are not helpful, and often create more problems than they solve. Unfortunately, existing packages may need to preserve them, until all dependant packages have their own configs adjusted to not use .la files. There is also a script which fixes Makefile to use linker directives instead of .la files. The usage in GAR is documented at <http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/gar/wiki/LibTool> Please ask on maintainers@ for further advice if needed. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006107) phil (manager) - 2009-05-12 18:58 http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3666#c6107 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- this is actually a bug in gmodule. Please file a bug with THAT package, to repackage without .la files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (0006108) John Ellson (reporter) - 2009-05-12 19:21 http://opencsw.org/bugtrack/view.php?id=3666#c6108 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This may *also* be a bug with gmodule, but *this* package is installing /opt/csw/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la with broken references, so minimally it needs to be repackaged without it. I'll file a bug against glib for /opt/csw/lib/libgmodule.la (I'm finding the .la files on the build8s host) Issue History Date Modified Username Field Change ====================================================================== 2009-05-12 15:32 John Ellson New Issue 2009-05-12 16:13 John Ellson Note Added: 0006105 2009-05-12 16:34 dam Note Added: 0006106 2009-05-12 18:58 phil Note Added: 0006107 2009-05-12 18:59 phil Status new => closed 2009-05-12 18:59 phil Resolution open => no change required 2009-05-12 19:21 John Ellson Note Added: 0006108 2009-05-12 19:21 John Ellson Status closed => feedback 2009-05-12 19:21 John Ellson Resolution no change required => reopened ====================================================================== _______________________________________________ bug-notifications mailing list bug-notifications@lists.opencsw.org https://lists.opencsw.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-notifications
