when rebuilding FPC (version 3.2.2, Lazarus 2.2.6, "x86_64-linux-gtk2") from
sources, the compiler processes the symbol "fnmatch" that is 'paired' with the
library "libgtk-x11-2.0.so". i have traced this back to the source file
/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.2/packages/gtk2/src/gtk+/gtk/fnmatch.pas and in
particular the following function declaration therein:
{ Match STRING against the filename pattern PATTERN,
returning zero if it matches, FNM_NOMATCH if not. }
function fnmatch(__pattern: char; __string: char;
__flags: gint): gint; cdecl; external gtklib;
located at around line 36. the constant gtklib is defined in the file
/usr/share/fpcsrc/3.2.2/packages/gtk2/src/gtk+/gtk/gtk2.pas as:
const
gtklib = 'libgtk-x11-2.0.so';
however, the library "libgtk-x11-2.0.so" does NOT contain a symbol/function
"fnmatch".
is anyone able to tell me where the symbol "fnmatch" resolves to? i have spent
a number of days working on this without success. note that editing fnmatch.pas
to either of the following variations:
function fnmatch( ... ) ... external;
function fnmatch( ... ) ... external 'libc';
both yield a compiler that, while capable of compiling a working terminal
application, can NOT compile a (gtk2) GUI application. so the symbol "fnmatch"
is NOT resolving to a match in "libc.so.6" where one would normally expect to
find fnmatch defined.
many thanks for any help that can be offered...
cheers,
rob :-)
