I've noticed the same issue today:

Comment 3 Peter Putzer 2020-04-12 10:43:42 UTC
Somehow, the linker is not searching /usr/local/lib. Adding the following snippet to /etc/make.conf allowed for successful compilation:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/ports/net/librsync}
  LDFLAGS += -L/usr/local/lib
.endif

Normally, configure should pick up the LD paths, but somehow this is not happening here.

Thank you for the fint, Peter. Worked for me.

The build failure does not happen on a clean box.

I guess the problem would go away if you uninstall librsync-2.2.1 first.

(In reply to Peter Putzer from comment #2)
Do you have old version installed?
Comment 7 Peter Putzer 2020-04-15 17:30:11 UTC
(In reply to Sunpoet Po-Chuan Hsieh from comment #6)

Of course.
Comment 8 mark burdett 2020-04-25 12:11:52 UTC
Uninstalling the old librsync did not resolve the problem for me.
Comment 9 Franco Fichtner 2020-04-28 06:52:31 UTC
I'm also seeing this consistently even in clean chroot environments.
Comment 10 Franco Fichtner 2020-04-28 07:08:48 UTC
Oddly, this doesn't work:

USES+= localbase

But this works for me:

LDFLAGS= -L/usr/local/lib


Cheers,
Franco

The attached patch should meet the quality standard for inclusion.  ;)

claiming, maintainer timeout and also fixing breakage
Comment 13 Matthias Andree freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-05-16 15:40:36 UTC
Something appears to be hosed inside librsync-2.3.0/cmake/FindPOPT.cmake, but not being too experienced with cmake, I don't see exactly what breaks and where the rsync upstream got it from. 

I was debugging the same thing after reports on FreeBSD-ports@, and figured that if pkg-config was available during "make configure", then the build broke.  The popt.pc file seems harmless, but is apparently not processed properly.

Bug report filed upstream.

I just don't think the patch is correct. But thanks for your investigation that the existance of pkgconfig seems to be the cause. That's why it does not happen in a clean jail.

Log:
  net/librsync 2.3.0: fix build with pkg-config available [1]

  While here, enable "make test" (requires upstream file missing from
  tarball and adaptations as to bash's install path, which add).

  This bug shows building the ports directly because pkg-config is often
  available, but does not show in poudriere because pkgconf/pkg-config
  is not a listed requisite und therefore missing from the build jail.

Well, feel free to commit a better solution, or if you want, I can revert it and add LDFLAGS+=-L${LOCALBASE}/lib instead, which also fixes the issue.
Comment 19 Franco Fichtner 2020-05-17 07:54:25 UTC
It would be of use if we do not claim "clean jail" is actually the Poudriere jail as actually any clean jail in the FreeBSD sense has the bug because we simply use the ports tree to build it which doesn't always track dependencies in case of auxiliary build dependencies.  "Poudriere" is perfectly sufficient to address the special jail situation.  Furthermore, having the ports tree by itself in a working state is more effective than having a third party tool that outsmarts the ports build progress.

As far as I can see the ports tree was built to enable building third party software and provide workarounds so that upstream does not necessarily need to be fixed so that localbase:ldflags seems like a sensible thing to do until the upstream situation changes.

In any case, thanks for committing the workaround.  :)


Cheers,
Franco
Comment 20 Matthias Andree freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2020-05-17 12:24:25 UTC
It's actually one possible fix to the root cause, not just a workaround.

cmake's pkg-config support is, at best, incomplete, and severly underdocumented, after all those years. 

librsync's cmake stuff (main CMakeLists.txt, cmake/FindPOPT.cmake) disregards LDFLAGS.  Only the -l options (pkg-config --libs-only-l) end up in the POPT_LIBRARY variable the that the linker command gets passed in the top-level CMakeLists.txt file, however the LDFLAGS and LDFLAGS_OTHER are not added and lost.  

The "hunt without pkg-config" code path obtains the absolute path to libpopt and therefore does not need the -L option.

You can see for yourself adding CMAKE_ARGS+=--trace to Makefile and then reading the log from the "make configure" phase and comparing from a build with, and a build without pkg-config.
