Bug 268225 – net-libs/liblockfile-1.08 fails to emerge

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description MATSUI Tetsushi 2009-05-02 01:23:45 UTC]

net-libs/liblockfile-1.08 fails to emerge on OS X.

The error is:
i686-apple-darwin9-gcc  -fPIC -shared -Wl,-soname,liblockfile.so.1 \
			-o liblockfile.so lockfile.o -lc
ld: unknown option: -soname
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [liblockfile.so] Error 1

Obviously, soname is not appropriate on OS X.

The part of the ebuild
# needs checking -- grobian 2009-04-30
#	[[ ${CHOST} == *-darwin* ]] \
#		&& cp ${FILESDIR}/Makefile.Darwin.in Makefile.in
is the difference from the previous version causing failure.
If I uncomment back the part, it gets emerged successfully.

Thanks for testing.
Are versions and things then also correct?

Versions of what do you mean?
How do I test it?

Sorry, I even don't know what the package is for; it's just pulled by -D system
... in fact, a dependency of emacs.  Well, but otool -L emacs doesn't show liblockfile in the linked libraries.  Is it needed at all?

The bug #203624 says it's used by movemail.

% otool -L ~/Gentoo/usr/libexec/emacs/22.3/i686-apple-darwin9/movemail
/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/libexec/emacs/22.3/i686-apple-darwin9/movemail:
	/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/lib/liblockfile.1.0.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/Users/tetsushi/Gentoo/usr/lib/gcc/i686-apple-darwin9/4.2.1/libgcc_s.1.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 111.1.3)
% ~/Gentoo/usr/libexec/emacs/22.3/i686-apple-darwin9/movemail 
Usage: movemail [-p] inbox destfile [POP-password]

There is no problem for me.

I uncommented the makefile thing, thanks for testing!
