Bug 273721 – Some packages (v3.5.10) are not able to find libkdnssd.la

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Laurent Bachelier 2009-06-11 13:36:00 UTC]

I got it with ksirtet and klines, and I believe atlantik is affected too.

They try to find libkdnsd.la in /usr/lib64/ when it is in /usr/kde/3.5/lib64/libkdnssd.la.

Example:

grep: /usr/lib64/libkdnssd.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libkdnssd.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libkdnssd.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[3]: *** [libksirtetcommon.la] Error 1
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge ksirtet or klines

try to recompile libkdegames

I tried and it's now working. That's strange as I already recompiled it when upgrading to 3.5.10.

.la files are pain in the ass if you dont use --as-needed ldflags ;]
So simple solution is to find out what package provides corrupted .la files and recompile it. That should allways fix them.
Cheers.
