Xorg-7.4-dev and expat2-devs

[Juanito]

I'm not sure, but there seems to be an issue with Xorg-7.4-dev and/or expat2-devs...

When compiling cairomm/pangomm/gtkmm, I need to add the following symlink:

Code: [Select]

$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libexpat.la libexpat.la..otherwise "make" fails with an error about missing /usr/lib/libexpat.la

Is this tc 1.x or 2.x?

Is this tc 1.x or 2.x?

Sorry - 2.x

Adding that symlink to expat2-devs would be an ok solution. I don't however know why this would happen, as I think all references to expat should point to /usr/local.

[Juanito]

That was my thought too - I mean the expat devs obviously point to /usr/local, but I was wondering if one of the Xlib-devs for an Xlib that depended on expat was pointing to /usr because that was where the Xlib, rather than expat, was located.

I started to check this line of thought, but then got lost between various .la and .pc files...

The .la files of the pango modules are corrupt, they point to needing /usr/lib/libexpat.la.  I will fix them this afternoon.

Juanito,
It is fixed.  Redownload pango.tcel/tczl and try again.

The other deps seem to be correctly pointed to. Maybe expat was in /usr/lib when it was compiled?

Edit: nope...there's others, like /usr/local/lib/libXau.la; there's no  /usr/lib/libX11.la;

The gtk2 stack was built on TC 1.x with it's Xorg and -dev extension, which had .la files in different places than TC 2.x's extensions have them.  I will update the extensions on TC 2.x and that should fix it.

jpeters,
I see a /usr/lib/libX11.la in TC 2.x with the Xorg -devs loaded.  Nevertheless, the pango-devs extension has also been corrected of a /usr/lib/expat.la typo.

I compiled glibmm, pangomm, etc against the gtk2 stack in tc_2.x and the only error was the one mentioned at the top of the post, so maybe the mod you made to pango-devs is enough?

[Juanito]

Hmm... I re-ran the compilation using the new pango/pango-devs in tc_2.x with Xorg-7.4-dev, but:

I'll look through the freetype/fontconfig/Xrender/X11 devs when I get a moment.

[Jason W]

fontconfig.la also points to /usr/lib/expat.la.  Will also fix. 

EDIT: fontconfig-devs also fixed.

[Juanito]

All that remains is to fix the reference to expat in libcairo.la and we're in good shape 

[Jason W]

Ok, will get to that tonight.
