actually are CTORS/DTORS in the objects that go into the library.
This makes pkgsrc under 1.3.x not blow up on C libraries that were built
with libtool. E.g. everything that linked against -lintl would dump core.
out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the
generated PLISTs to reflect the symlinks that ELF packages uses. It also
tried to be clever, and removed and recreated any symbolic links that were
created, which has resulted in some fun, especially with packages which
use dlopen(3) to load modules. Some recent changes to our ld.so to bring
it more into line with other Operating Systems also exposed some cracks.
+ Modify bsd.pkg.mk and its shared object handling, so that PLISTs now contain
the ELF symlinks.
+ Don't mess about with file system entries when handling shared objects in
bsd.pkg.mk, since it's likely that libtool and the BSD *.mk processing will
have got it right, and have a much better idea than we do.
+ Modify PLISTs to contain "ELF symlinks"
+ On a.out platforms, delete any "ELF symlinks" from the generated PLISTs
+ On ELF platforms, no extra processing needs to be done in bsd.pkg.mk
+ Modify print-PLIST target in bsd.pkg.mk to add dummy symlink entries on
a.out platforms
+ Update the documentation in Packages.txt
With many thanks to Thomas Klausner for keeping me honest with this.
The previous patch could cause problems in a couple of oddball cases.
So, set need_version=yes for a.out, and hack avoid-version so it works on
a.out platforms.
loads shlib components at run-time on a.out systems (such as imlib, gtk themes,
gdk-pixbuf, and gnumeric). So, disable it for all NetBSD platforms.
(Note: This requires updating some PLISTs.)
To test, type "info libtool|" and hold down space. See it stop with a
``Cannot find the node "(/usr/pkg/info/libtool.info)Linking executables"''
error. Simply making sure the info-files get re-done works here.
--cplusplus option is should just work. Thanks to Todd Verling for
help with this.
I've been sitting on this update while I played with
deplibs_check_method for a.out. There seems to be a problem related
to dlopen stuff if file_magic is used. Still investigating.
Version bumped to nb4.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
