Bug 316315 – gcc has broken .la files

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-04-20 07:38:05 UTC]

The la files installed by gcc are broken. They show

# Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
libdir='/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3'

Instead of a prefixed one.

[Comment 1 Fabian Groffen 2010-04-23 17:57:10 UTC]

hmmm, which gcc and what .la files are you looking at?  Mine seem to have the EPREFIX properly in there.

[Comment 2 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-04-24 18:53:15 UTC]

libgfortran.la and libgomp.la. Actually it isn't the prefix, but the wrong dir

/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgomp.la:
libdir='/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/../lib64'

/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgfortran.la:
libdir='/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/../lib64'

/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgfortranbegin.la:
is OK

/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgomp.la:
libdir='/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib'

/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgfortran.la:
libdir='/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib'

/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3/libgfortranbegin.la:
OK

[Comment 3 Fabian Groffen 2010-04-24 18:56:18 UTC]

hmmm, interesting.

[Comment 4 Fabian Groffen 2010-04-24 18:56:53 UTC]

what is the value of libdir for the files were it's OK actually?

[Comment 5 Justin Lecher (RETIRED) 2010-04-24 20:29:19 UTC]

libdir='/opt/scisoft64/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3'
libdir='/opt/scisoft32/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.3'

[Comment 6 Fabian Groffen 2011-04-06 18:02:50 UTC]

not going to fix this, never caused trouble for me (removing .la files is better best thing to do here)
