Patch that fixes the build

I believe the problem here is that new versions of glib (I'm using 2.32.3) don't pull in libgmodule-2.0.so when you link libglib-2.0.so.  I've attached a patch that has autoconf test that g_module_symbol gets pulled in by -lglib-2.0 and if not adds -lgmodule-2.0 to the library list.

I don't think this bug is prefix-specific, but I don't have a non-prefix ~amd64 testbed to try this with so I've filed the bug against prefix.  The patched ebuild works on both by amd64 box and my ~amd64-linux box.

I've also filed an upstream bug

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3533549&group_id=239&atid=100239

I'll attach a diff of the ebuild as well.

Adds the described patch to xchat-2.8.8.ebuild

Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2012-06-08 19:19:56 UTC

Let's try something a bit less ugly.
Add 4th argument to AM_PATH_GLIB_2_0: 'gmodule'.

This new patch works for me, and it's significantly cleaner.  The ebuild remains the same.

Although I belive you've found a valid bug I'm unable to reproduce this on any of my ~amd64 testmachines with glib-2.32.3.
Therefore I'd like to request the full build.log file of the failed build from you as well as the output of "emerge --info xchat".

xchat build log

This the output of

MAKEOPTS="-j1" ebuild xchat-2.8.8-r2.ebuild clean install

using the xchat ebuild from portage (ie, not with the patch suggested in the build).

emerge --info xchat

Comment 7 ncahill_alt 2013-03-14 19:51:53 UTC

This happened to me today, the patch from comment 3 fixed the problem.  This was using gcc 4.7.2, 32-bit x86.

emerge --info xchat

Switched from gcc-4.6.3 to gcc-4.7.2 on ~amd64 and xchat now breaks.

Comment 9 Denys Dmytriyenko 2013-04-02 01:04:11 UTC

I switched from gcc-4.6.3 to gcc-4.7.2 on ~amd64 and xchat now breaks. Submitted my own emerge --info xchat in the attachments.
