Extension for .la files no longer in their extensions

[andyj]

I'd like to request an extension that contains the .la files that aren't being maintained in the library updates, but some software packages are still looking for them. In the last round of updates I was able to find the Xorg .la files, but I can't find wayland-client.la needed by open-vm-tools for 32-bit.

Hi andyj

... but I can't find wayland-client.la needed by open-vm-tools for 32-bit.

According to this:
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/wayland-dev.tcz.list
thet're in  wayland-dev.tcz.

[andyj]

Curious. I didn't have wayland-dev on my build system and it's never been needed before. Do the latest Xorg builds need or somehow reference wayland and the deps don't have it? I'll need to do some more research.

[Juanito]

There has been no change in the way Xorg is compiled against wayland - note that Xorg is not compiled against wayland in x86 to avoid bloat.

Hi andyj
According to the x86  .tcz.dep  files the only extension that depends on wayland is  ibus-dev.tcz  which depends on  wayland-dev.tcz.

Hi aswjh

and libgio-2.0.la

You'll need to pull them from here:
http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86/tcz/glib2-dev.tcz.list

Hi aswjh
Here's a tarball with the  glib2-dev  .la  files from TC9. You should probably edit them to change the version numbers from
5200.3  to  6000.6. Look for the lines called  library_names=, current=, age=, and revision=.

Here are the ones I've gathered from multiple places to build the extensions I maintain:

Code: [Select]

libEGL.la
libGL.la
libGLESv1_CM.la
libGLESv2.la
libMesaOpenCL.la
libOSMesa.la
libatk-1.0.la
libdrm.la
libdrm_amdgpu.la
libdrm_intel.la
libdrm_nouveau.la
libdrm_radeon.la
libgbm.la
libgio-2.0.la
libglapi.la
libglib-2.0.la
libgmodule-2.0.la
libgobject-2.0.la
libgthread-2.0.la
libinput.la
libjson-glib-1.0.la
libkms.la
libswrAVX.la
libswrAVX2.la
libtiff.la
libtiffxx.la
libvulkan_intel.la
libvulkan_radeon.la
libxatracker.la

We're doing this little by little, but when I

Code: [Select]

grep '\.la$' *.list | wc in my mirror of 10.x/x86/tcz I get 3462 files. All I'm asking is as TC moves forward the .la files which disappear from their respective extensions when they are recompiled be moved into an extension of .la files so I or anyone else who compiles their own code doesn't have to go on a treasure hunt to find them.

I second that. I've gone on such treasure hunts many times. A lot of vintage software still needs the .la files at compile time (particularly those from TC9's glib2-dev.tcz).

Perhaps we could start with the .la files missing from TC10's glib2-dev.tcz? If I were to collect those files into an extension (named something like glib2-dev-la or glib2-la) would the developers be interested in adding it to the repository?

[Juanito]

The files should be in the relevant tcz/src/extension folder on the server - we could regroup them under tcz/src/la if that makes things easier?

[GNUser]

That would be wonderful.
For contributors who are aware of the issue, could the .la files also be manually added to their respective foo-dev.tcz extensions?

[Juanito]

la files available in:

http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/src/la
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86_64/tcz/src/la

[GNUser]

That's just beautiful. Thank you, juanito!

Here's the command to fetch all those files and put them in /usr/local/lib (adjust the architecture if needed):

Code: [Select]

sudo rsync -rtvh --progress repo.tinycorelinux.net::tc/10.x/x86_64/tcz/src/la/ /usr/local/lib
