Bug 419659 – dev-libs/stfl-0.22 missing linked libraries

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Jan Krajdl 2012-06-04 20:34:09 UTC]

stfl lib after emerging is missing linked to some core library like ncurses so it's not working.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge stfl (all use flags disabled)
2. ldd /usr/lib/libstfl.so

Actual Results:  
linux-vdso.so.1 (0x00007ffff2400000)
libc.so.6 => /lib64/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd800cf0000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd8012e8000)

Expected Results:  
linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fffa5fff000)
libncursesw.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libncursesw.so.5 (0x00007fd00e016000)
libtinfo.so.5 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5 (0x00007fd00ddee000)
libpthread.so.0 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0x00007fd00dbd1000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 (0x00007fd00d84a000)
libdl.so.2 => /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0x00007fd00d646000)
/lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 (0x00007fd00e47c000)

Created attachment 314225 [details]
emerge --info

Please explain in what way it isn't working. What are you linking against it?

stfl is library using ncurses for creating terminal-base application. So at least ldd should show linked ncurses library. But ldd on gentoo after emerge stfl show only these three libs referenced in actual results. This means that any application using stfl for creating tui will crash. When I run this application with "LD_PRELOAD=libpthread.so.0:libncursesw.so.5" prepended to command it works fine.

Fixed in cvs. Thanks for the report.

It was caused by broken --as-needed porting.
