Description Peter Alfredsen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Use-case: When .la files are removed from packages.

lafilefixer works by parsing each .la file, extracting all dependency_libs, and doing a substitution of /path/to/liblibrary.la files for -llibrary where possible, adding -L/path/to as appropriate.

Test-case:
Unmask dev-libs/popt-1.14
run revdep-rebuild -i -- -p
run lafilefixer --justfixit
run revdep-rebuild -i -- -p
Notice the difference

??????????????

How? It is parsing only existing *.la files. If file is removed, then it is not considered for creation.
It don't solve problem of removed *.la files (like in libpcre package)

The problem is not the removal of the *.la files. It is *.la files pointing to other *.la files in the dependency_libs section and not to the libs directly. This causes errors for other packages that rely on the *.la files being present. If these files are fixed the errors of missing *.la files go away.

Comment 10 Miroslaw Mieszczak 2009-06-29 07:52:34 UTC

OK. I understand. 
I read somewhere else, that it creates missing *la files, and it is not truth.

Comment 11 Dan Johnson 2009-06-30 16:32:01 UTC

It looks like amd64 wasn't CCd on this bug, was that intentional?
