Description Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-07-30 07:36:05 UTC
What's the right way to pass LDFLAGS in perl-modules.eclass?
For ExtUtils::MakeMaker modules i started playing with OTHERLDFLAGS

| - make ${mymake}
| + make OTHERLDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" ${mymake}

Comments?

perl-module.eclass-LDFLAGS.patch

Patch based on Tove's suggestion.
Comment 3 Davide Pesavento gentoo-dev 2008-09-11 14:37:54 UTC
I'm getting the "QA Notice: Files built without respecting LDFLAGS have been detected" message from several perl modules.
Arfrever: is your patch supposed to fix these warnings?

This patch fixes these warnings only in a part of Perl modules.

tove: Think we can do this now, it is pretty trivial and will help with many packages.
Comment 6 Chris Slycord 2008-11-18 17:24:34 UTC
When this gets added can the packages affected be bumped so that they will actually get reinstalled (and thereby no longer be affected by the issue)?

Fixed.
Comment 14 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-29 17:39:07 UTC
--extra_linker_flags doesn't work for Module::Build distributions.
It replaces the settings in Build.PL.

So can we do now?

adding OTHERLDFLAGS during install phase

OTHERLDFLAGS should also be used in src_install. I've found at least one pkg that needs it:

emerge -1 =dev-perl/perl-tk-804.028-r3

 * QA Notice: Files built without respecting LDFLAGS have been detected
 *  Please include the following list of files in your report:
 * /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/5.10.1/x86_64-linux/auto/Tk/Tk.so

Try with MAKEOPTS=-j1. Looks like a parallel make issue.

Parallel build issue it is... Sorry for the noise

Only Module-Build packages [0] ignore LDFLAGS.
All others work (but they might not know it yet).

Comment 21 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-09-21 14:44:04 UTC
Things changed:
dev-lang/perl-5.12.2-r1 respects LDFLAGS.

Furthermore it records and uses its ldflags, lddlflags (see perl -V) later on for building modules. It still doesn't use the LDFLAGS from env for Module-Build modules but the recorded perl LDFLAGS.

So it's the same as bug 236200.
Comment 22 Torsten Veller (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-03-31 08:18:10 UTC
bug 308629:
app-pda/pilot-link uses OTHERLDFLAGS in Makefile.PL which are replaced by
setting OTHERLDFLAGS in perl-module.eclass.

So neither
OTHERLDFLAGS for ExtUtils::MakeMaker
nor
--extra_linker_flags for Module::Build
distributions works reliably.

We are still looking for a correct way to pass
LDFLAGS, CFLAGS (bug #261375, bug #236200 ) ,...
