build.log

This was inspired by a report in #gentoo and I decided to look into it a bit myself given I could reproduce.

For me, this fails to build:
```
$ CFLAGS="-O2" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1" USE="-* abi_x86_64 amd64 elibc_glibc jpeg kernel_linux motif22-compatibility png unicode xft" CC=clang CXX=clang++ ebuild motif-2.3.8-r5.ebuild clean compile
```

I'll post analysis in a followup comment now, it's pretty weird so far.

```

What I think is happening is a mix:
1) We shouldn't hardcode LIBS="-fl" in the ebuild, we should use the corresponding library to whatever flex impl is in use, or simply unset LEX and set LEX=flex (this is fine if you choose to do this);
2) It fails with mismatched flex/reflex which provides the missing main();
3) The situation is made worse if flex or reflex was built with LTO because of bug 926120?

so, TL;DR: 
* do what I mention in 1) in https://bugs.gentoo.org/936172#c1 to avoid mismatched flex;
* can you reproduce with clang but not using LTO? (note that i'm not using LTO for motif here)

I might be making some logical jump as it's a bit late, so if it doesn't make sense, I'll revisit tomorrow. Thanks!
Comment 3 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2024-07-17 05:19:31 UTC
I cannot reproduce the problem, neither with gcc nor with clang.

"undefined symbol: main" usually indicates that sys-devel/flex was compiled with a different compiler/toolchain or with different CFLAGS. This pretty much looks like a duplicate of bug 592868.

LIBS="-lfl" is needed when compiling for a non-native ABI:
https://gitweb.gentoo.org/archive/repo/gentoo-2.git/commit/?id=a1ec0787c36cbe323f6b7a46a81ca0739ac62a63

We could replace it with wmluiltok_LDADD="-lfl" which would be somewhat cleaner.

Again, bug 592868 comment #6, i.e. try adding -ffat-lto-objects to flex compilation flags as suggested there.

To be clear, I'm not saying remove LIBS. I'm saying "-lfl" isn't right if configure picks up LEX=reflex.

i.e. you either need to make LIBS=... pick the right value for LEX, or just unset LEX / force it to be flex so it matches.

Thanks! That indeed covers it. The remaining issue is just the LTO static libs thing which is to be handled separately outside of motif.
