Bug 19775 – avifile-0.7.34.20030319 fails with xfree4.3.0-r2 based libXft

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1991
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Derk W te Bokkel 2003-04-22 10:15:56 UTC]

trying to upgrade this file .. discoverd that it fails due to missing references in the library 
/usr/lib/libXft in the samples/misc section of the build. All the missing references are to Fc* 
based subroutines such as FcFontMatch, FcPatternPrint, etc. there are 38 of them. I suspect 
this is due to the change to the built in Xft library into Xfree4.3.0-r2 into which I had just 
upgraded.

adding the fix from: 
 
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=48895&highlight=avifile 
 
and changing it to : 
avifile-0.7.32.20030319.ebuild  
  
 online 140 change  
  
 emake || die  
  
 to  
  
 emake LDFLAGS=-lfontconfig || die  
  
works and it now compiles. 
 
this may not be an optimum fix but it does work ..  
is there then a problem with the fontconfig files in the source code refering to 
obsolete functions or is the libxft lib incomplete?

try rebuilding fontconfig...i.e. 
 
emerge fontconfig

Nope still blows up at the same spot. 
still while in directory: ..../work/avifile0.7-0.7.34/samples/misc 
 
after 'mkdir .libs' 
 
there is one more g++ call for .libs/avibench benchmark.o (flags and cruft omitted) 
 
/usr/lib/libXft.so: undefined reference to 'Fc..etc..etc.'  (38 lines here) 
 
 
ends with -- collect2: ld returned 1 exit status 
 
and make cleaning up as per normal error handling  
 
exit code is 2 ,line 140, src_compile  
 
Tried a .. 'source /etc/profile' 
 
that didn't help either .. I'll  try a few other things and report back later

okay here's the deal .. once I had the latest fontconfig -2.0 emerged I re-emerged xfree 
then avifile compiles properly .. so the order is important ..  
 
is there anyway portage can be used to force or suggest this kind of recompile ordering 
when it is needed? this type of problem must come-up more often .. there's got to be a 
way to fix or hint in the ebuilds that some things require recompiling before certain 
software will install correctly.
