Re: problems building 1.7.1 and 1.7.2

[Craig Askings]

I had a look and yes I did have two versions of g-wrap installed and I have removed the older one, reinstalled g-wrap 1.3.2 and gnucash is compiling away nicely.

Hi Derek,

That find command did the trick. It turns out the borked .la file was
part of my install of gwrap 1.3.2.
Now I just have to work out how to make it generate the correct .la
files as the make of gnucash fails without them.

Interesting... Can you try to "make clean; make all install" in the
g-wrap package again?

Making all in core-utils

This is.... WEIRD. Do you have competing versions of g-wrap installed?

Hi,

Hi again...

I'm unable to build 1.7.1 or 1.7.2. ./configure runs ok but when I run
make I get

As I said on IRC, the problem is that _some_ .la on your system is
corrupt. You might want to do something like:

find / -name \*.la -print | xargs grep /tmp/buildd/libtool-1.4.2/debian/tmp/usr/lib/libltdl.la

This will tell you which package is broken so you can report it to
Debian. This is probably related to the "libtool relinking problem"
(I don't have the Debian bugID handy) -- some people figured the right
way to fix libtool was to get it not to relink, and well that isn't
really the right answer. Similarly, some people think the right way
to "install" is to use --prefix=, instead of using DESTDIR, and that
screws up libtool, too.

I'm running Debian Testing with bits of unstable and g-wrap 1.3.2
manually installed.
Am I missing a program or something?

No, you've got a program that was built (well, installed) poorly.
That 'find' command will tell you which package(s) is(are) broken.
Once you find that, you can rename the XXX.la out of the way (I would
recommend XXX.la.b0rked).

Good Luck,

Regrads,
Craig Askings
