Bug 147982 – media-libs/mesa-6.5.1 generates invalid libGL.la

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) 2006-09-17 13:55:15 UTC]

mesa-6.5.1 generates /usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la which contains:
[...]
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/${libdir} -lSM -lICE -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lXi -lX11 -ldl -lpthread 
[...]
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/${libdir}'

So, of course, whenever anything tries to use libGL.la, one gets errors:
libtool: link: warning: library `/usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.la' was moved.
libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr//usr//usr/lib/libGL.la' or unhandled argument `/usr//usr//usr/lib/libGL.la'
make[3]: *** [testskey] Error 1
make[3]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
grep: /usr//usr/${libdir}/libGL.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr//usr/${libdir}/libGL.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr//usr/${libdir}/libGL.la' is not a valid libtool archive


By contrast, mesa-6.5-r3 produced a valid libGL.la:
[...]
# Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs=' -L/usr/lib -lSM -lICE -lXmu -lXt -lXext -lXi -lX11 -ldl -lpthread
[...]
# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/lib/opengl/xorg-x11/lib'

Oh, wonderful. Seems that any other package that I had emerged that had used the broken libGL.la also needs to be reemerged, because they included the invalid directory names in their own *.la files. Good thing I noticed this early...

Hanno, I suspect this is related to your changes.

[Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2006-09-17 22:42:53 UTC]

Should be fixed in CVS with 6.5.1-r1.

[Comment 4 Peter Weber 2006-09-18 02:14:56 UTC]

Same Problem here (with Gnome-2.16)
I hope the fix will be in portage soon. How can I check, which ebuilds need to be reemerged?

Try this:
grep /usr/lib/*.la -e libGL.la -l | xargs grep 'usr//usr'
