Bug 29950 – gcc-config doesn't allow multiple library paths in LDPATH=

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brad House 2003-09-29 13:55:51 UTC]

Basically because of a 
if [ -d "${LDPATH}" ]
statement, it doesn't allow an LDPATH like this:
LDPATH="dir1:dir2:dir3"
yet, LDPATH parameters in /etc/env.d _do_ allow that.
This is a patch to comment out that restriction.  This is
required for a GCC patch I'm about to submit for multilib support
for GCC on amd64

Created attachment 18500 [details, diff]
patch to allow multiple paths LDPATH when using gcc-config

[Comment 2 Brad House 2003-10-18 12:45:08 UTC]

gcc-config-1.3.3-r2  has these changes needed for gcc-3.3.1-r5 for
amd64

ok, it seems this bug now applies to all archs and not just amd64. since i am on an amd64 box, i never even noticed a problem.. since we seem to already have a fix.

Stupid question - does it have the entries in the correct order in ld.so.conf?

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2004-05-06 17:45:14 UTC]

fixed in cvs

[Comment 7 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-05-06 23:32:48 UTC]

martin - from my ld.so.conf:

/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.0

(i have 3.3.3 and 3.4.0 installed at the moment)

same order regardless of which compiler is active. yeah... i'd say that's a bug.

[Comment 8 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-05-07 13:47:16 UTC]

Yeah, some nut in portage dev decided that the order in env.d doesn't bother
him, and went and sorted it.  Might be mistaken though, but I want to remember
it did not do it in the past (and why my gcc2/gcc3 installation did the
right thing at the time, before I wiped it).

Can anybody in portage dev confirm that ld.so.conf entries was not always
sorted?  This is also sorda a sticky issue with mozilla/firefox/etc.

[Comment 9 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-05-08 07:29:00 UTC]

Oh, and could we add it in the order it appears in /etc/env.d/ ?

[Comment 10 Nicholas Jones (RETIRED) 2004-05-16 04:05:05 UTC]

Yeah... Looks like the sort has been in since at least October...
It's in every version since 2.0.49-r15, at least.

It's not present in any portage-2.0.51.

[Comment 11 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2004-06-20 08:04:20 UTC]

Ok, this should be fine now ...
