To make it more complicated, during compiling it’s expected that certain libraries are available specifically at /usr/lib/swift. In a container, I can symlink the necessary directory with “ln -s /usr/libexec/swift/5.8.1/lib/swift /usr/lib/swift” and Swift builds fine. > > This doesn’t work with Mock and I’m trying to think of a way to build Swift without introducing more patches; I’ve been able to create a patch that changes the directory it’s looking for, but at the cost of compile errors later on. > > Might anyone have a suggestion about what can be done within mock to minimize the changes needed to the source? I’m really hoping to avoid adding any more patches as I feel there’s already too many (8!) just to make it build successfully. An LD_PRELOAD hack perhaps? Ugly but it would avoid source changes. I think the best plan is to just fix the source however ... Can't you persuade them to at least make $libdir configurable during the build? Rich. > I was wondering if I could submit a newer version of 5.8.1 with the symlink as part of the rpm so that it would be available going forward. This seems like the “safest” option, but before doing that I was wondering if there was a specific thing that allows this in Mock that I’m just not aware of. > > Thanks for any info! > > Ron > -- > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ > List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines > List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- Richard Jones, Virtualization Group, Red Hat http://people.redhat.com/~rjones Read my programming and virtualization blog: http://rwmj.wordpress.com virt-p2v converts physical machines to virtual machines.
