I'm still working on pkgsrc/gnash, mainly to educate myself. I've learned a lot in the past two days, but this one is beyond me:
The gnash package includes a small utility named gparser, for analyzing shockwave flash movie files (.swf). gparser will build on NetBSD but not on DFly. It fails in the linking step with this error: ./server/.libs/libgnashserver.so: undefined reference to `gnash::sound_handler::convert_raw_data(short**, int*, void*, int, int, int, bool, int, bool)' That's true. The reference is actually not defined -- but the same is just as true on NetBSD and yet it links without error. So, why the difference? I tracked down the actual failing command and made a shellscript out of it. I can run the script on NetBSD without error, but on DFly it fails with the error listed above. Here is the script -- all the usual and customary system files have been snipped for brevity, and I added carriage returns to the huge command line for legibility: c++ -O2 -I/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/.buildlink/include/SDL -I/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/.buildlink/include -DGLX_GLXEXT_LEGACY -I/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/.buildlink/include/freetype2 -pthread -W -Wall -Wcast-align -Wcast-qual -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -pthread -Wl,--as-needed -o .libs/gparser parser.o -Wl,--export-dynamic -L/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/server/.libs -L/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libbase/.libs -L/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libamf/.libs -L/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libgeometry/.libs -L/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/.buildlink/lib ../server/.libs/libgnashserver.so <***** missing reference is here ../libbase/.libs/libgnashbase.so ../backend/.libs/libgnashbackend.so <***** reference is defined here /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/server/.libs/libgnashserver.so /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libamf/.libs/libgnashamf.so /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libgeometry/.libs/libgnashgeo.so ../libamf/.libs/libgnashamf.so /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/gnash-0.8.0/libbase/.libs/libgnashbase.so -lboost_date_time-mt -lboost_thread-mt -pthread -lpthread -lrpcsvc -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/pkg/lib -Wl,--rpath -Wl,/usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/gnash/work/.buildlink/lib By editing a few files I even switched the order of the two libs in question, but I still get the same error on DFly. At this point I'm reduced to wondering if the NetBSD linker has the --allow-shlib-undefined option as the default behavior and DFly has --no-allow-shlib-undefined. I really don't know how to find out except to ask here. Any pointers much appreciated!
