Re: Bug#182041: PIC library has bad name

2003-02-27 Thread Junichi Uekawa
   mklibs fails to find the PIC library for reduction since it's called
   libnewt-utf8_pic.a while mklibs expects it to simply be libnewt_pic.a
   
   We're using newt debian-installer so it'd be nice if this were fixed so
   we could save some bytes on the boot media. :-)
  
  I have a few questions: 
  
  I've thought boot-floppies worked with the name libnewt-utf8_pic.a.
  Why doesn't debian-installer mklibs not work with it?
 
 Because libnewt.so.0.50 is a symlink to libnewt-utf8.so.0.50.17.
 
 $ ldd tmp/cdrom/tree/usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/newt.so
 libnewt.so.0.50 = /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50 (0x40005000)
 libc.so.6 = /lib/libc.so.6 (0x40014000)
 libslang.so.1-UTF8 = /lib/libslang.so.1-UTF8 (0x40124000)
 libm.so.6 = /lib/libm.so.6 (0x40185000)
 libdl.so.2 = /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x401a6000)
 /lib/ld-linux.so.2 = /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x8000)
 
 so mklibs only sees libnewt.so.0.50 and strips off the suffix and gets
 libnewt_pic.a.

I got your point,

junichi

 And why does the boot media get some bytes free by changing the
 name here ?

Because of library reduction when using my new newt frontend? I haven't
done any actual measuring, but I thought the whole point with _pic libs
and mklibs was to reduce the size of the libs?
