Bug 884 – emerge sodipodi fails (ld: cannot find -lgdk_pixbuf_xlib)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Chris Piro 2002-02-27 21:36:22 UTC]

sodipodi fails to merge because while "test-widgets" ld can't link
gdk_pixbuf_xlib.  A lot of code earlier in the ebuild compiles without failing.
 I'm pretty confused ... I don't know what gdk_pixbuf_xlib is, or what provides
it,  but the deps in sodipodi's ebuild don't.  I tried taking -lgdk_pixbuf_xlib
out of the Makefile, but something breaks.  Hopefully this is enough to go on,
e-mail me if you need more info / can't reproduce it.

emerge gdk-pixbuf (although it should be already installed)
and see if that works.  There was a problem where gdk-pixbuf had to
be emerged twice to get it to work properly.

Thank you.  That worked.  I thought gdk-pixbuf-0.16.0-r4 was supposed to clear
up that bug, but apparently not (I had -r4 installed).  Should we look into this?

[Comment 3 LordVan(Thomas Raschbacher) 2002-03-07 16:28:25 UTC]

i had the same problem...
i just changed /usr/lib/gdk_pixbuf_xlibConf.sh(and removed the '_xlib' in the
linker-line... maybe a bug in gdk_pixbuf[-scripts]?)

Handing off to Azarah because I know he's handled this problem.

[Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-03-24 07:56:20 UTC]

If you could try with gdk-pixbuf-0.16.0-r5, it would be appreciated.
Just make sure you have the latest unmasked sys-devel/libtool installed
(should be 1.4.1-r3)

Is this solved ?  Any new comments ?

[Comment 7 Chris Piro 2002-05-26 18:12:09 UTC]

I've built a bunch of systems with sodipodi without a problem ... I guess that
means it's solved :)
