Bug 138656 – Updating to gnustep-base-1.12 / gnustep-make-1.12 produces a lot of unresolved library refrences

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Axel Dyks 2006-06-30 22:10:25 UTC]

... that are not detected by revdep-rebuild.

GNUstep does not install its executables into standard pathes (/etc/ld.so.conf).
Therefore "revdep-rebuild" from gentoolkit does not detect unresolved
library references within /usr/GNUstep.

The following patch adds an new option (-G, --gnustep) to "revdep-rebuild"
that appends all GNUstep folders containing executables to SEARCH_DIRS.

Cheers,
Axel

Then it should install appropriate SEARCH_DIRS entry into /etc/revdep-rebuild,  instead of hacking revdep-rebuild itself? Or, am I missing something here?

I have to look into it, but if we can inject via a env.d thing, I think we should defenitely do that, instead of hacking revdep-rebuild.

[Comment 4 Axel Dyks 2006-07-01 01:09:30 UTC]

As far as I know, the GnuStep application (executables) are not
installed into a common "bin" folder, but into per-application
folders.

That means that not only "gnustep-base" or "gnuset-make" need to
pass information to "revdeb-rebuild", but every single application.

... which could be implemented by adding an appropriate function
to a "GNUstep" eclass which is automatically called from every
gnustep (application) ebuild.

Anyway, whatever solution is chosen, it has to compete with
"adding 12 line of code to revdev-rebuild"

All that should need to be done is to add a file to /etc/revdep-rebuild containing the entry

SEARCH_DIRS="/usr/GNUstep"

I am not going to add specific code to revdep-rebuild itself.  This kind of stuff is what the /etc/revdep-rebuild directory was created for.

[Comment 6 Axel Dyks 2006-07-03 10:39:43 UTC]

I must admit that I haven't read the documentation properly.
Especially I've missed that "revdep-rebuild" does a RECURSIVE
search on the folders given in SEARCH_DIRS.

Sorry!

... and thank you for your excellent work on this tool.

Axel

P. S.: I've just manually added a file "/etc/revdep-rebuild"
according to your instructions and it works like it should.

[Comment 7 Axel Dyks 2006-07-03 10:41:10 UTC]

I mean, I added a file TO (the folder) "/etc/revdep-rebuild/"

:-)

[Comment 8 Fabian Groffen 2006-12-05 13:16:59 UTC]

I think this has been tackled in the latest gnustep-base.

[Comment 9 Axel Dyks 2006-12-05 14:40:13 UTC]

It has.
