- Avoid linking with libc.so (for supporting PTHREAD_LIBS correctly on 4-stable)
Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports-bugs->kuriyama Over to maintainer.
State Changed From-To: open->closed Committed, thanks!
This change causes some breakage in a few ports which try link in libexpat, such as www/neon and audio/libmusicbrainz. The libexpat libtool archive file contains this line # Is this an already installed library? installed=no which is erroneous (it's true only during the build of expat itself) and sometimes causes libtool to look for the libexpat shared objects in /usr/local/lib/.libs instead of /usr/local/lib, causing the build to fail. The installed libtool archive should have # Is this an already installed library? installed=yes instead.
State Changed From-To: closed->open The fix has issues, reopening.
Just a note to say that I see this behavior as well. Using the old "flail around until it works" methodology, I discovered that if I locally reverted rev. 1.28 of textproc/expat2/Makefile, I can get an apparently-working expat installation. Bruce.
