Hi all, This happens for several libraries trying to link to glib (or more specifically gio); pixman is the first to show the errors:
/opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_ptr_array_new_with_free_func' /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_error_new_valist' /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_hostname_is_non_ascii' /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_hostname_to_ascii' /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_byte_array_unref' /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so: undefined reference to `g_byte_array_get_type' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status and sure enough, these symbols are exported but undefined: > nm /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so | grep g_ptr_array_new_with_free_func U g_ptr_array_new_with_free_func > nm /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so | grep g_hostname_to_ascii U g_hostname_to_ascii even though these symbols *are* defined in libgiib > ldd /opt/gnome2/lib64/libgio-2.0.so ... libglib-2.0.so.0 => /opt/gnome2/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 (0x00007fef56ac5000) > nm /opt/gnome2/lib64/libglib-2.0.so.0 | grep g_ptr_array_new_with_free_func So, I can sorta see what's happening, but I'm new to GNOME development and don't know enough about the autotools to figure out how to fix it. The big question is *why*, if libgio is linking against libglib, why does it leave these symbols undefined?? Details and background: I'm basically following the steps outlined here: http://www.gnome.org/~newren/tutorials/developing-with-gnome/html/ch04.html to keep my development libraries separate from the ones I use. I build using a different user, too. I run jhbuild with moduleset "gnome-2.28" The version of glib I have checked out is commit 0bb5739 from one week ago, and I've tried 'make distclean' and 'jhbuild build -a' to completely rebuild everything. (The problem *goes away* when I switch to moduleset gnome-2.26, but then that's not what I want to work on...) Finally, the people on #gnome said libgio is the province of the nautilus folks, so here I am. :) I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 - AMD64, and the fact that no one else appears to have this problem makes me worried it's just a configuration problem on my end. But I could just file a bug report if it looks like a real bug. I'm willing to experiment if someone can give me pointers, I just can't seem to get very far when everything fails on libgio... :( Thanks! qmoto -- nautilus-list mailing list nautilus-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
