Bug 60627 – SWIG port does not install libswigpy.so needed by SubVersion

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Mina Naguib 2004-08-16 19:42:21 UTC]

Installing SubVersion crashes during linking with:
cd subversion/bindings/swig/python && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/subversion-1.0.6/work/subversion-1.0.6/libtool --silent --mode=link gcc -pthread -shared  -rpath /usr/lib/svn-python/libsvn -avoid-version -module -o _client.la svn_client.lo -lswigpy ../../../../subversion/bindings/swig/libsvn_swig_py-1.la ../../../../subversion/libsvn_client/libsvn_client-1.la

Looking at SWIG port's packing list, I notice something peculiar.  libswigpy.so.0 was built but removed before build was completed!  Here's a snippet from emerging swig:

/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc  -O2 -march=pentium4 -pipe -Wall   -o libswigpl.la -rpath /usr/lib -no-undefined   libswigpl_la-libpl.lo  -ldl 
gcc -shared  .libs/libswigpy_la-libpy.o  -ldl  -march=pentium4 -Wl,-soname -Wl,libswigpy.so.0 -o .libs/libswigpy.so.0.0.0
gcc -shared  .libs/libswigpl_la-libpl.o  -ldl  -march=pentium4 -Wl,-soname -Wl,libswigpl.so.0 -o .libs/libswigpl.so.0.0.0
(cd .libs && rm -f libswigpy.so.0 && ln -s libswigpy.so.0.0.0 libswigpy.so.0)
(cd .libs && rm -f libswigpy.so && ln -s libswigpy.so.0.0.0 libswigpy.so)
creating libswigpy.la
(cd .libs && rm -f libswigpy.la && ln -s ../libswigpy.la libswigpy.la)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge SWIG
2. Emerge SubVersion


Actual Results:  
subversion fails becuase swig port didn't install needed file

Expected Results:  
Installed libswigpy.so so it can be linked-against by other programs

'make install-runtime' need to be added to the ebuild

[Comment 2 Andrew Glen-Young 2004-08-17 03:06:42 UTC]

Created attachment 37580 [details]
Modified ebuild file.

[Comment 3 Andrew Glen-Young 2004-08-17 03:07:42 UTC]

Created attachment 37581 [details, diff]
Ebuild patch file.

use: patch -P0 < swig-ebuild.patch in /usr/portage/dev-lang/swig directory.

[Comment 4 Andrew Glen-Young 2004-08-17 03:09:12 UTC]

I can confirm that the ebuild needs 'make install-runtime' is needed to install these libraries. Attached patch and modified ebuild.

[Comment 5 Mina Naguib 2004-08-17 10:19:38 UTC]

I can confirm that the above patch fixed the problem.  Would someone please commit this to portage ?

I just committed the fixed ebuild. Thanks to you all.
