I am trying to build a package on a OpenSuse-10.3 PowerMac G5. and I see the following:
/bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/bin/gcc -m64 -g -O2 -mcpu=power 4 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -g -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing -prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wn ested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-cast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -m64 -o pedump pedump.o libmonoruntime.la ../io-layer/libwapi.la ../utils/libmonouti ls.la ../../libgc/libmonogc.la -pthread -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lm -ldl -lpthread -lm libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib64/libpcre.la' or unhandled argument `/usr/lib64/libpcre.la' Well doing a find I see: > find /usr -name 'libpcre*' /usr/lib/libpcre.a /usr/lib/libpcre.la /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libpcre.pc /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0 /usr/lib/libpcre.so /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so So libtool is confused by the fact that there is a /usr/lib/libpcre.la but no /usr/lib64/libpcre.la. However there a perfectly good /usr/lib64/libpcre.so that the package can link too. On a different system (running SLES10/SP1 on G5) I see: find /usr -name 'libpcre*' find: /usr/share/YaST2/data/support: Permission denied /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 /usr/lib/libpcre.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpcre.so.0.0.1 The package build works fine there: /bin/sh ../../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link /usr/bin/gcc -m64 -g -O2 -mcpu=power4 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -g -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-cast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -m64 -o pedump pedump.o libmonoruntime.la ../io-layer/libwapi.la ../utils/libmonoutils.la ../../libgc/libmonogc.la -pthread -L/opt/gnome/lib64 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lm -ldl -lpthread -lm /usr/bin/gcc -m64 -g -O2 -mcpu=power4 -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -g -Wall -Wunused -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wno-cast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -m64 -o pedump pedump.o -pthread ./.libs/libmonoruntime.a ../io-layer/.libs/libwapi.a ../utils/.libs/libmonoutils.a ../../libgc/.libs/libmonogc.a -L/opt/gnome/lib64 -lgthread-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -ldl -lpthread -lm The difference seems to be that one system has only the (32- and 64-bit) run-time rpms installed (no libpcre.la) and works but the system that happens to have the libpcre devel package installed causes libtool to demand /usr/lib64/libpcre.la, for some reason. Why can't libtool just accept the /usr/lib64/libpcre.so as meets minimum requirements and complete the link. In the my case removing the libpcre devel rpm is not an option since there are dozens of other packages that I need dependent on it. _______________________________________________ Bug-libtool mailing list Bug-libtool@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-libtool
