And in this case, the maintainer is "retired" and the "dependant package" is the one I'm trying to build...

A recap:

CSWlibgsf consists of two libraries, libgsf-1.so(.114.0.11) and libgsf-gnome-1.so(.114.0.11) Both libraries get built without any problem, and libgsf-gnome-1.so. 114.0.11 gets linked to libgsf-1.so.114.0.11 But during the install (to work/pkgroot...) libgsf-gnome-1.so. 114.0.11 is relinked (as usual when using libtool) get linked to / opt/csw/lib/libgsf-1.1.9.1.

My thought was that someone might have seen this problem (with another package) before and had a solution for it.

Indeed. I have seen this several times. On some occasions
the '-L' had to be taken out of CFLAGS (like in ncurses)

include gar/category.mk

LDFLAGS := $(filter-out -L%,$(LDFLAGS))


Some needed manual patching and now I have encountered this problem
again in an old libflac version. James suggested to use an interposing
script between CC and the real compiler which reorders -L and -I
directives so /opt/csw comes last and the stuff on workdir/ first.
I haven't implemented this, though.

I also encountered this when packaging gettext, but couldn't solve it.

BTW, are you sure this is a libtool issue?


Best regards
