Description Eugene Shalygin 2013-01-11 21:01:19 UTC
I was playing with accessibility use flag and when I was recompiling qt-declarative, I found that part of it tries to link agains system libQt5Quick.so.5 and compilation has failed. After removing qt-declarative, it emerged without problems

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
As an example:
1. emerge -C qt-gui:5 qt-declarative:5 
2. USE="accessibility" emerge -1 qt-gui:5 qt-declarative:5 
3. Either use patch from bug #448628 of or add #define QT_NO_ACCESSIBILITY to /usr/include/qt5/Gentoo/gentoo-qconfig.h
4. USE="-accessibility" emerge -1 qt-gui:5 qt-declarative:5 

Actual Results:  
Build of qt-declarative:5  fails

I think I have made some small progress with this.

Look at our link line:

-lxslt -lz -ldl -lm -lgio-2.0 -lgstapp-0.10 -lgstinterfaces-0.10 -lgstpbutils-0.10 -lgstvideo-
0.10 -lgstbase-0.10 -lgstreamer-0.10 -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -pthread -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lxml2 -lsqlite3 -licui18n -licuuc -licudata -lQt5Quick -L/usr/lib64 -lQt5OpenGL -lQt5PrintSupport -L/var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.9999/work/qtwebkit-5.9999_build/lib -lQt5WebKit -lQt5Qml -lQt5Widgets -lQt5Sql -lQt5Network -lQt5Gui -lQt5Core -lpthread -lXext -lX11 -lm -lGL

So, /usr/lib64 is searched first, found, and failed before /var/tmp/portage/dev-qt/qtwebkit-5.9999/work/qtwebkit-5.9999_build/lib ever has a chance to be checked.

-L/usr/lib64 doesn't even need to be there since AFAIK it's searched by default as a fallback.

If we can remove this I guess it will just work.

I note that both the first and qtwebkit have -lQt5Quick -L/usr/lib64 so I wonder if it's caused whenever a particular module is pulled in.
Comment 18 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-02-11 17:26:14 UTC
Comparing old to new build logs, it looks like this isn't an issue anymore for qtbase. In some builds from mid-2013 -L/usr/lib64 is present, which is missing in current builds.

That's what I've been thinking too, that -L/usr/lib64 was pulled in via some other module... can you please check QMAKE_PRL_LIBS inside /usr/lib64/libQt5*.prl on your system?
Comment 20 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-02-11 18:23:34 UTC
Interestingly when I try to bisect the issue, I can't reproduce the -L/usr/lib64 in known-bad commits anymore.

Comment 22 Losier Blackheath 2014-02-16 01:34:09 UTC
Hi, I compiled qtdeclararive manually, and found that the source of "-L/usr/lib64" is more likely the file qt_functions.prf.
Here's what I get in qmake's debug output(with some lines from qt_functions.prf):

DEBUG 1: /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/qconfig.pri:8: QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS := /usr/lib64 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.2 /usr/lib/gcc/lib64 /lib64

Maybe the token "-=" failed to work? But I didn't see any obvious bug in qmake's source code.

I'm completely wrong. The QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS above is aligned by /usr/lib64/qt5/mkspecs/qconfig.pri when host_build is false, and since 

qmlmin.CONFIG = host_build
qmlimportscanner.CONFIG = host_build

has been set in tools/tools.pro, QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS is of course a null value.
Comment 24 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-11 11:45:39 UTC
I think that rather than trying to remove -L/usr/lib64, we should try to figure out why it appears before -L/var/tmp/portage/... in some cases. The former appears to be common behaviour even in other packages.
Comment 25 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-11 14:35:53 UTC
@pesa, do you know how the final link line is assembled from QMAKE_PRL_LIBS? I am guessing this is some dependency ordering issue (specific to qtwebkit apparently) but I don't really know what I'm looking for.

Not too well, but AFAIR everything should eventually end up in LIBS (a qmake var), then qmake c++ code assembles the final command line for the linker, but I suspect the ordering problem is already present in LIBS. So I'd start looking into the various .prf files involved (good luck with that).

Hey, I think the process that qmake generates .prl files should be checked and fixed. The building process can be omitted temporary. There's no other sources that produce "-L/usr/lib64".

Yeah, they contain the -L/usr/lib64, but that's not necessarily wrong - for example many pkgconfig files also return that. It's not normally an issue because under normal circumstances -L/var/tmp/portage/... comes first.

So maybe we have two choices: delete -L/usr/lib64 when generating .prl files, or deleting them when qmake is determing LIBS variable.

The former is easy but we probably can't do it because the prl files are installed and can be consumed by other packages. I don't know how possible the latter is, I think it's calculated at build time.

I found this in the Qt4's QMAKE_PRL_LIBS: 

QMAKE_PRL_LIBS = -L/usr/lib64 -L/usr/lib64/qt4 -L/usr/X11R6/lib  -L/usr/lib64/qt4 -lQtCore -L/usr/lib64 -lgthread-2.0 -lrt -lglib-2.0 -lpthread

Now that -L/usr/lib64 exists in qt4's prl files, so maybe we can get to know how Qt4 handle them when generating makefiles.
Comment 32 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-03-13 14:34:45 UTC
Working from the other direction, apparently the -L/var/tmp/portage/... line comes from

Tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/functions.prf:266 linkAgainstLibrary
LIBS += -L$${ROOT_BUILD_DIR}/lib -l$$target)

which is called from

default_post.prf:201 needToLink
linkAgainstLibrary($$library, $$eval(WEBKIT.$${library_identifier}.root_source_dir))
LIBS += $$eval(WEBKIT.$${library_identifier}.dependent_libs)

Supposedly default_post.prf is run automatically by qmake, so maybe the needToLink conditional is failing for certain things.

I think qmake determines LIBS variable in its built-in routines, outer scripts only determines some sub-variables:

./generators/unix/unixmake2.cpp:        t << "LIBS          = $(SUBLIBS) " << var("QMAKE_LIBS") << " " << var("QMAKE_LIBS_PRIVATE") << endl;

These variables didn't appear with any valuable information in the verbose log, so they should be aligned internally in qmake.

But I can't get any more obvious clue now. Appending only one -d option to qmake makes a very huge build log, Appending another would be horrible.
Comment 34 Losier Blackheath 2014-03-14 05:34:23 UTC
I've scanned the source code of qmake, and was convinced that the inner routine of qmake processing .prl files is not controlled by .prf scripts:

MakefileGenerator::processPrlFile(QString &file) reads the prl file and aligns QMAKE_PRL_LIBS to project->values("QMAKE_CURRENT_PRL_LIBS");

UnixMakefileGenerator::processPrlFiles() calles MakefileGenerator::processPrlFile(QString &file), then alignes project->values("QMAKE_CURRENT_PRL_LIBS") to "QMAKE_LIBS" and "QMAKE_LIBS_PRIVATE" string lists, like this:
            ProStringList &prl_libs = project->values("QMAKE_CURRENT_PRL_LIBS");
            if(!prl_libs.isEmpty()) {
                for(int prl = 0; prl < prl_libs.size(); ++prl)
                    l.insert(lit+prl+1, escapeFilePath(prl_libs.at(prl).toQString()));
                prl_libs.clear();
            }

UnixMakefileGenerator::writeMakeParts(QTextStream &t) writes "QMAKE_LIBS" and "QMAKE_LIBS_PRIVATE" into Makefile.

A possible approach to solve this: Let qmake read /etc/ld.so.conf (or read QMAKE_DEFAULT_LIBDIRS) and maintain a string list of default library paths (with -L appended), and kill the listed items before inserting.

Rebuilding these libraries takes some time, so I'm not sure whether it works. But I do know that codes in function findLibraries() can remove -L/usr/lib64 from "QMAKE_LIBS" and "QMAKE_LIBS_PRIVATE".

Unfortunately that patch didn't fix the issue for me.

The 'good' news is this appears to not be specific to us - I was able to see the same link path issue in SUSE builg logs too.

Good to know. I guess they don't actually run into a linking failure because they start with an "empty" system when building packages, right? i.e. there's no old version installed.

Yeah, it looks like they populate a fresh kvm for every build.
Comment 40 Losier Blackheath 2014-03-27 07:56:01 UTC
This time I know where the problem is:
There is a stupid mistake in UnixMakefileGenerator::findLibraries(), where int libidx is aligned to 0, and is used as the number of items in QList<QMakeLocalFileName> libdirs. Here is my solution:

I've rebuilt qtwebkit:5 with this bug(and one I posted yesterday), and I was happy to see that -L/usr/lib64s are removed like this:

Patch works for me too, what do you think, pesa?
Comment 42 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-03-27 17:38:21 UTC
I'm not too familiar with qmake C++ code, but the patch makes a lot of sense. As a matter of fact, a few lines below in processPrlFiles() there's a very similar logic, only this time the duplicate test is a simple '.contains()' rather than '.indexOf() + index comparison', thus processPrlFiles() is not affected by this bug.

Can you submit a patch to https://codereview.qt-project.org/ please? Or I can do it if you don't want to deal with gerrit or the CLA.

Agree, but my network condition does not allow me to do jobs like git pull at present. So maybe someone else may help with this.

Upstream says that the index is fixed in commit qtbase/5bc9541e7a3a55849020d79ee7d7b4d0996ce2ff, but I don't have the latest development version. Tell me whether the issue is fixed there.

Not necessarily. Our interpretation of that code could be completely wrong.
Comment 53 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-04-02 14:38:34 UTC
Well, what that commit says it does is not consistent with the current behaviour at least.
Comment 54 Losier Blackheath 2014-04-02 14:57:15 UTC
Well, I misunderstood the code in findLibraries(), I thought they were used to delete system paths. So maybe we need to insert this function into processPrlFiles().

"you'll get an execution trace by going to the webkit build dir and running QMAKEFLAGS=-d make -f Makefile.... qmake >& qmake.log. have fun ..."

Can someone do this and attach the log file please? I already tried this some time ago and failed to find the cause, but things have changed so...
Comment 56 Losier Blackheath 2014-04-02 15:49:29 UTC
Well, I have this build log with -d option(267 MiB), and one with 2 -ds(385 MiB), they are too large and will use up my flow. So I'll attach them tomorrow.

I don't need the whole build.log, just the qmake debug log (possibly compressed with xz). Remember to run 'ebuild qtwebkit-5<...>.ebuild configure' before.

Comment 68 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-05-20 17:16:51 UTC
It was an upgrade from 5.2.1 to 5.3.0_rc, with the fixed qtcore already merged.
Comment 69 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-20 17:35:26 UTC
I suppose qtsql is using the mkspecs dir in ${S} rather than the installed one which contains the fixed .prf files.

Can you try applying the 7 qtcore patches to qtsql too?
Comment 70 Michael Palimaka (kensington) gentoo-dev 2014-05-22 15:44:26 UTC
There's no change with the patches applied. It appears to be caused by mysql, and looks like QT_LFLAGS_MYSQL is populated by mysql_config --libs which outputs here -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -rdynamic -L/usr/lib64/mysql -lmysqlclient -L/usr//lib64 -lz -lcrypt -lnsl -lm -L/usr/lib64/ -lssl -lcrypto

So it looks like filterLibraryOptions in configure isn't working as expected.
Comment 71 Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-05-22 16:04:55 UTC
The qtsql issue has a different cause then, let's continue in bug 511042.
