Description Phillip Killewald 2008-01-29 06:26:09 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.0.0)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          GCC i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.2.2 CFLAGS="-O2 -march=prescott -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -msse3 -funroll-loops"
OS:                Linux

I have been attempting to compile kdelibs-4.0.0 on my system, and it fails at
the same point with very little debug output.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:

Comment 3 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2008-01-29 08:58:24 UTC

The bug has been files to Gentoo as well
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206871
and they will attach the patch here as it is something we need to fix in KDE code.

Comment 4 Maksim Orlovich 2008-01-29 16:46:01 UTC

Please do a build w/o a -j, so the error messages are in order. (It's not even clear if it fails linking libkjs or libsolid). It doesn't help there isn't an actual link error message there, either --- but the warning suggests you're trying to link a shared library against a static library.

Comment 5 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-29 20:38:28 UTC

After removing the -j3 option, the error is

Comment 7 Maksim Orlovich 2008-01-30 00:01:35 UTC

Thanks. It'd be awfully helpful of ld if it actually gave the error. 
What happens if you do ls /usr/lib/*pcre* ?

Comment 9 Maksim Orlovich 2008-01-30 00:49:52 UTC

are the libpcre.so and libpcreposix.so symlinks right?

Comment 10 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-30 03:37:20 UTC

Looks like everything there is correct.  I will try re-emerging these, just in case.

Comment 11 Ingmar Vanhassel 2008-01-30 15:19:11 UTC

Run `export CMAKE_COMPILER_VERBOSE=YesPlease` in a terminal, then try to recompile & attach the full build.log. That will show the linker command being used.

I had a discussion with Anne-Marie on irc, where a user of ours hit the same problem compiling kdeedu from current SVN:

Snippet from his log:

I guess the error stems from trying to mix static (analitza) and dynamic libraries?

Comment 13 Maksim Orlovich 2008-01-30 18:52:44 UTC

-Wl,-Bstatic -lpcre -Wl,-Bdynamic -lpcreposix

what in the world is that -Bstatic for?

Comment 14 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-30 22:00:11 UTC

From the man page for ld:

       -Bstatic
       -dn
       -non_shared
       -static
           Do  not  link against shared libraries.  This is only meaningful on
           platforms for which shared libraries are supported.  The  different
           variants of this option are for compatibility with various systems.
           You may use this option multiple times  on  the  command  line:  it
           affects  library  searching  for  -l options which follow it.  This
           option also implies --unresolved-symbols=report-all.   This  option
           can  be used with -shared.  Doing so means that a shared library is
           being created but that all of  the  library's  external  references
           must be resolved by pulling in entries from static libraries.

Should I do something about this?

Comment 15 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-31 02:02:40 UTC

Progress:  it seems when I change -Bstatic to -Bdynamic in kjs/CMakeFiles/kjs.dir/link.txt, linking of libkjs.so works, but then I get the same error when it tries to link ktranscript.so.

I am going to try first rebuilding libpcre, and failing that, I will try changing all the -Bstatic to -Bdynamic in all the link.txt files.

Comment 16 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-31 03:49:50 UTC

When I remove -Bstatic from before the -lpcre flags in all the link.txt files, kdelibs builds without incident.  I removed the offending flags with the following command after running configure but before running make:

find ./ -name link.txt -type f -print0 | xargs -0 perl -pi -w -e 's/-Bstatic -lpcre/-lpcre/g;'

I will try to emerge without the USE flag "pcre" and see if that works, too.

Comment 17 Phillip Killewald 2008-01-31 04:03:41 UTC

Fixed, not resolved: Gentoo's handling of the USE flag "pcre" seems to want to link libpcre as static, not shared.  I don't know how to make a patch to fix this.

Comment 18 Maksim Orlovich 2008-01-31 04:12:43 UTC

That's probably for our cmake guys, will have to figure who does it. I don't get why you even have a static version of pcre though --- it's pretty useless except in some special case..

Comment 19 Michael Pyne 2008-01-31 04:39:57 UTC

Does seem like a CMake issue.  The -Wl,-Bstatic stuff is added automatically by CMake to try to force linking to the static version of libpcre.  I believe this behavior has just changed in CMake CVS, but not for this reason.  It may still be interesting to try using CMake CVS to see if it builds correctly.

Comment 20 Anne-Marie Mahfouf 2008-01-31 11:41:53 UTC

libanalitza is now a shared library so that should be fixed!
see http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-commits&m=120172713306397&w=2
Thanks Aleix!

Comment 21 Phillip Killewald 2008-02-09 00:38:15 UTC

As of kdelibs-4.0.1, the pcre USE flag in Gentoo has been removed.  It is now required that kdelibs be built against libpcre, thereby defeating my "fix".  Something needs to be done, probably to CMake, to get everything to work again.  Until then, it is back to gnome for me.

Comment 22 Phillip Killewald 2008-02-12 04:22:28 UTC

A new "solution" that seems to work:  move the files libpcre.a and libpcre.la from /usr/lib/ to some other directory not in the $LD_LIBRARY_PATH (like /root/).  Build works because cmake can't find the static version of libpcre, so it is forced to link dynamically.

This is clearly a problem with cmake, but I'm wondering if I even need the static versions of these libraries...

Comment 23 Alexander Neundorf 2008-02-12 19:01:39 UTC

So find_package(PCRE) found the static versions of the library, right ?
Please post the output of "grep PCRE CMakeCache.txt" in the kdelibs build directory.
If you don't mind please join kde-buildsystem@kde.org so we can discuss it there, which is easier.

From my last post, it was obvious that I had an extra copy of libpcre.a hanging around in /lib, not /usr/lib.  I deleted /lib/libpcre.a (keeping /usr/lib/libpcre.a) and everything built properly.
