https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1481324 --- Comment #6 from Tomasz Kłoczko <kloczko.tomasz@xxxxxxxxx> --- 1) $Config{libs} does not lists -lgdbm library. Did you try to test it by execute "perl -e 'use Config qw(myconfig config_sh config_vars config_re); print config_vars(perllibs);"\n";'" [tkloczko@domek SPECS]$ perl -e 'use Config qw(myconfig config_sh config_vars config_re); print config_vars(perllibs);"\n";'; rpm -q perl perl-devel perllibs='-lpthread -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lm -lcrypt -lutil -lc'; perl-5.26.0-398.fc27.x86_64 perl-devel-5.26.0-398.fc27.x86_64 Please try to check what this commend returns on your system. 2) Please have look that bug #905482 is 4 years old and in mean time perl changes dramatically. 3) nothing in XML::LibXSLT is using libgdbm or libdb and only reason which this build failed was because "perl -e 'use Config qw(myconfig config_sh config_vars config_re); print config_vars(perllibs);"\n";'" has been returning -lgdbm in the list of the libraries. This was bug in perl because in this list where all libraries with which libperl.so has been linked. *Not because some other modules during linking may need the same list of libraries*. Do you see this? 4) Look on what I've included in in above report that NOW XML::LibXSLT is building correctly because $Config variables have completely different list of libraries.Just try to remove gdbm-devel with --nodep and try to build XML::LibXSLT. What was reported in bug #905482 is no longer truth and three years ago solution was incorrect because instead adding do perl-devel Requires perl-devel should be fixed. Looks like 4 years ago someone made wrong decision without even rising question "why DSO linked in XML::LibXSLT is trying to link with -lgdbm if nothing in this module code is using single routine from gdbm?" 5) issue with /opt/GNU/include director is another part of the story and it should be fixed as well. 6) the same is with other libraries. For example -lc is part of the standard gcc specs: $ gcc -dumpspecs | grep -- -lc %{!mandroid|tno-android-ld:%{pthread:-lpthread} %{shared:-lc} %{!shared:%{mieee-fp:-lieee} %{profile:-lc_p}%{!profile:-lc}};:%{shared:-lc} %{!shared:%{mieee-fp:-lieee} %{profile:-lc_p}%{!profile:-lc}} %{!static: -ldl}} it is provided by perl $Config only because on some non-linux platform perl everything was linked using gcc passing to ld in other words: -lc is added to linked libraries even if someone is not specifying this library in list of libraries. 7) the same is wit all other libraries offered in perllib. They should be removed but I'm not going to offer this because perl modules usually are not doing any libraries detentions and libresolve or libutil may be needed by several peel modules. This should be fixed as well but it will take much more time. Because gdbm and libdb is very rarely used this is why I've proposed to remove gdbm-devel and libdb-devel because liking on list of modules in Fedora nothing should be broken instantly by this. 8) as radical change on begin of F28 maybe it should be applied emptying perrlib variable to expose all modules which should take care of detecting any libraries which other modules may need to fix those modules bit now is IMO not good time to do this. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ perl-devel mailing list -- perl-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to perl-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
