[Description Bruno d'Arcangeli 2013-06-24 05:08:10 UTC]

Hi,

The exif-0.6.21 configure script can't find the popt lib on loongson3a (MIPS n32).

Reproducible: Always

I've tried to compile it manually with success:
POPT_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include/popt.h" POPT_LIBS="-L/usr/lib32 -lpopt" ./configure
make

Something seems to be pretty messed up on your system.

it seems like your system doesn't have /usr/lib32 in the default search path for the linker like it should if that's where libraries are installed on "linux/mips/13.0/mipsel/multilib/n32"

seems like a bug for the mips@ team, perhaps toolchain@

workaround would be 'inherit flag-o-matic' and 'append-ldflags -L/usr/lib32' before econf

but whatkind of profile puts libraries by default to some directory that's invisible to the linker by default?!

config.log shows that it's looking specifically in /usr/lib64 for popt:

> -L/usr/lib64 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed conftest.c -lpopt   >&5

Looking in configure.ac, popt detection is done by an included macro: 

> # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> # popt.h: Simplifies handling of command-line options enormously.
> # ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
> GP_CHECK_POPT([mandatory])dnl

which is in m4m/gp-check-popt.m4. It contains this gem:

> # We could have "/usr" and "lib64" at the beginning of the
> # lists. Then the first tested location would
> # incidentally be the right one on 64bit systems, and

> for ldir in lib64 "" lib; do

So I suspect this is the problem.

[Comment 10 Matt Turner 2018-03-28 00:21:32 UTC]

Not sure what changed, but I don't even see it checking for popt anymore.

Please reopen if you can still reproduce. I cannot.
