Any ports specific behaviour in libtool is controled by command line options, so I'd have to add one for not running ldconfig when it's run from bsd.port.mk. > The problem happens when you deinstall this port; pkg_delete > removes all plugins and directories and then try to ldconfig -R. > Of course there are no such directories and complains: > > ===> Deinstalling for xmms-1.2.2 > ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Output: No such file or directory > ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Effect: No such file or directory > ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/General: No such file or directory > ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Visualization: No such file or directory > > So I think that ldconfig run by libtool is overkill. It's also harmless. Other than in this case. I think we have multiple problems here: 1. ldconfig should be ignoring non existant directories. 2. bsd.port.mk should run ldconfig before @dirrms. 3. libtool shouldn't be running ldconfig for modules (xmms's plugins are compiled with --avoid-version). I'll fix the last problem.

(1) This would be harmful. we would be hard to find a typo such as "/usr/X11R6/lbi", so current behavior is better. (2) Hmm, binaries linked against libraries installed non-standard place should be linked with -rpath doesn't it(and don't ldconfig -m its directory)? This is a design issue of FreeBSD system (ldconfig VS -rpath) so leave it as is for now. :-) (3) This is good solusion I think. BTW, would you please update libtool to 1.3.5 if it is better than 1.3.4? -- FUJISHIMA Satsuki Responsible Changed From-To: freebsd-ports->reg Over to maintainer (yes, I read the audit trail again :) Responsible Changed From-To: reg->ade I'll be looking at all things libtool prior to 4.8-RELEASE State Changed From-To: open->analyzed Will be dealt with as part of ongoing work with gnu building tools in general. State Changed From-To: analyzed->closed Unfortunately, with the recent major changes to the autotools ports infrastructure, this PR would have to have extensive rebuilding work. If you believe this is still a problem, please submit a new PR against the updated bsd.autotools.mk as of today (June 4 2004) |
libtool installed with ports/devel/libtool runs ldconfig when shared library installed. This is FreeBSD specific, and now bsd.port.mk handles this properly. So libtool doesn't need to run ldconfig. I found this behavior of libtool when I work with audio/xmms port (ports/20261). This port installs some sharelibs as plugin module into ${X11BASE}/lib/xmms/* and libtool runs ldconfig -m there. The problem happens when you deinstall this port; pkg_delete removes all plugins and directories and then try to ldconfig -R. Of course there are no such directories and complains: ===> Deinstalling for xmms-1.2.2 ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Output: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Effect: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/General: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Visualization: No such file or directory So I think that ldconfig run by libtool is overkill. How-To-Repeat: o make audio/xmms WITH patch ports/20261 applied. /usr/ports/audio/xmms# make install << successfully installed >> /usr/ports/audio/xmms# ldconfig -r|head -2 /var/run/ld-elf.so.hints: search directories: /usr/lib:/usr/lib/compat:/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/local/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Input:/usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Output:/usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Effect:/usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/General:/usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Visualization o then remove this package. /usr/ports/audio/xmms# make deinstall ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Output: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Effect: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/General: No such file or directory ldconfig: /usr/X11R6/lib/xmms/Visualization: No such file or directory
