out of date - it was based on a.out OBJECT_FMT, and added entries in the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.
that depend it, as suggested by wrstuden. The reason is so that older
binary packages which were linked against an a.out shared lib won't have
their package dependencies satisfied by the latest package, which has no
shared libraries. There's no help for old ELF packages, unfortunately.
but since none of the NetBSD packages which link in xforms seem to
use the gl_{get,set}_canvas*() and gl_win*() functions, simply extend
the present ELF hack to a.out, for now. That is, disable the shared
{,x}forms library the hard way, by deleting it after installation.
It stinks, I know. Close PR pkg/10560.
Add a new USE_LIBTOOL definition that uses the libtool package instead of
pkglibtool which is now considered outdated.
USE_PKGLIBTOOL is available for backwards compatibility with old packages
but is deprecated for new packages.
linking against the static library does (see PR#8417), so for now, disable
the installation of the shared library on ELF platforms until a better fix
is found. But at least, those of us needing xforms on i386-ELF can get
some work done!
- 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.
additional work: - reordering Makefile to satisfy portlint
- ldconfig does not need -m anymore
- new md5 checksum for i386 binary
- add missing files to PLIST
