Gnome won't compile: cannot find -lpcre
0%
Description
Hi, I'm really having a hard time compiling gnome with pkgsrc 2007Q3.
Most problems are minors, but I'm getting this one that's less obvious:
/usr/libexec/binutils217/elf/ld: cannot find -lpcre
The pcgr package is well installed and /usr/pkg/lib is added in the ld
library list in /etc/rc.conf. It looks like this "ld" from binutils
ignores it. Is there a different configuration for the binutils tools?
I've upgraded from DF 1.8 to 1.10 by recompiling all my server.
Thanks for any help.

I don't have an answer for why that isn't compiling for you, but for an
immediate fix:
pkg_add
http://pkgbox.dragonflybsd.org/packages/DragonFly-1.10.1/i386/x11/gtk2+-2.12.0nb1.tgz

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^The pkgsource build system does not look in /usr/pkg/lib during the
compile. It looks in the .buildlink/lib directory instead, as I
marked above. Now, the real question is whether libpcre appears
in your .buildlink/lib directory.
Here is mine, for example:
~# ls -l /usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.*
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.a -> /usr/pkg/lib/libpcre.a
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.la
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.so -> /usr/pkg/lib/libpcre.so
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.so.0 -> /usr/pkg/lib/libpcre.so.0
/usr/pkgsrc/x11/gtk2/work/.buildlink/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1 -> /usr/pkg/lib/libpcre.so.0.0.1
If those links are not created properly during the buildlink phase,
the compile will fail later on.

You were right, pcre was not a dependency, so it wasn't added in the
buildlink process. pcre was included in the gtk2 link with a "-lpcre"
statement, for a reason I still don't understand. I could'nt find why
that flag is added, since nothing in gtk2 requires it, not even in the
gtk2 pkgsrc build files.
Anyway, I solved the problem by adding pcre as a dependency in gtk2, and
everything is fine since. If somebody ever finds why this flag was
added, please advise me.
Thanks for the help.

The 'magic' is in the buildlink3 files, which are a fundamental part of
the pkgsrc build system.
Look at x11/gtk2/buildlink3.mk, for example, and you will see
.include "../../devel/glib2/buildlink3.mk", which make sense because
glib2 is an important part of gtk2.
Between the buildlink3 system and the universally beloved libtool, you
eventually pull in /usr/pkg/lib/libglib-2.0.la, which contains this:
- Libraries that this one depends upon.
dependency_libs='-L/usr/pkg/lib -lpcre -lintl'
Trivial, really, once you've spent a decade bashing your head against
the inevitability of it all :o)
A quick and dirty way to investigate these dependencies is to do a
'bmake patch' for gtk2, which takes only a minute, and then poke
around in the work/.buildlink directory to see if libpcre shows up.
If not, you can try to work backwards from there. The work/.work.log
can also be very helpful.

I looked at glib2 after your post, and I could see that pcre is not a
dependecy of glib2 because glib2 provides it's own. But it's not
intalling it (it's not in it's PLIST), so it's not in it's buildlink
either. Mystery solved. ;-)
Thanks for the help.
