I maintain the port math/sage. The port builds its own version of the libreadline library. The port also uses lang/gcc instead of clang, because the port needs Fortran.
The port is wanting to create a shared library called libR.so, which it wants to link with the libreadline library it created itself. So it issues this kind of command: gcc46 -Wl,-rpath=path-of-newly-made-library -o libR.so -lreadline I have left out most of the command for brevity. Unfortunately the libR.so pulls in /lib/libreadline - the version that comes with the base FreeBSD. I thought that -rpath flag was supposed to tell the linker where to find the library. But it doesn't. The failure is when using FreeBSD-10. With FreeBSD-8 it works great. I also assume that gcc46 uses /usr/local/bin/ld instead of /usr/bin/ld, since devel/binutils is a dependency of lang/gcc. Can anyone help me? Is this a bug with FreeBSD? Or is there some extra flag I can set with the linker to make it work? I have tried -rpath-link and -z origin, but these were random guesses. and I don't really know what I am doing.
