Hi - when running in a 32-bit environment on a native x86_64 linux host,
attempting to build gtk+-2.24.4 fails because libtool incorrectly links
a newly built executable to /usr/lib32/ libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0, not to
=2E./../gtk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 :

 ENVIRONMENT:

I source this file to setup an i686 build environment in a 'setarch i686' s=
hell instance :

  $ cat ~/32.bit.env
declare -x ARCH=3Di686
declare -x AS=3D"/usr/bin/as -32"
declare -x ASFLAGS=3D"-Wa,-32"
declare -x CFLAGS=3D"-march=3Di686 -mtune=3Dgeneric -g -O2 -fPIC -DPIC -Wa,=
=2D-compress-debug-sections"
declare -x LD=3D"/usr/bin/ld -melf_i386"
declare -x LDFLAGS=3D"-Wl,-L/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.6.0/32,-L/=
usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/lib32,-L/usr/lib32,-L/lib32,-R/usr/lib64/=

declare -x PATH=3D"/bin:/usr/bin:."
declare -x PKG_CONFIG_PATH=3D"/usr/lib32/pkgconfig/"

  $ setarch i686
  $ . ~/32.bit.env

And, trying to build gtk+2.0 (v 2.24.4 ) , it fails :


libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "im-viqr.la" && ln -s "../im-viqr.la" =
"im-viqr.la" )                                                             =

               =20

Indeed, even this fails :

$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D../../gtk/.libs:../../gdk/.libs LD_PRELINK=3D../../gtk/=
=2Elibs/libgtk-x11-2.0.so:../../gdk/.libs/libgdk-x11-2.0.so /tmp/gtk+/gtk/.=

ut/.libs/im-xim.so: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_is_toplevel
/tmp/gtk+/modules/input/im-xim.la does not export GTK+ IM module API: /tmp/=
gtk+/modules/input/.libs/im-xim.so: undefined symbol: gtk_widget_is_toplevel

I think you need to be repeating the  '-Wl,-rpath,/tmp/gtk+/gdk/.libs:/tmp/=
gtk+/gtk/.libs' also as:  '-Wl,-rpath-link,/tmp/gtk+/gdk/.libs:/tmp/gtk+/gt=
k/.libs'  , because some link module is linked
internally here to libgtk-x11-2.0.so , so the -rpath value is not used, jus=
t -rpath-link (unset) so /usr/lib32/libgtk-x11.2.0.so from the previous gtk=
+-2.0 version is picked up .

This problem does not occur with a native x86_64 build, because I do not ne=
ed to set -rpath for such builds.

This is with toolchain :

$ eval {gcc,ld,/sbin/ldconfig,libtool,autoconf,automake}' --version; ' | gr=
ep '[(]G'
gcc (GCC) 4.6.0
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.21.51.20110407
ldconfig (GNU libc) 2.13
libtool (GNU libtool 1.3332 2011-04-10) 2.4.1a
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.68
automake (GNU automake) 1.11a

with all installed files unmodified from original installation .

NOTE :  I think this bug is related to (but different from) bug #8537  :
 http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D8537

While I've been using your excellent libtool script for years without probi=
ng to far into its implementation ,=20
I have noticed issues such as these crop up from time to time,  and am fina=
lly resolved to do something about it -
I'll continue investigating and submit a patch to fix this if I find one .

All the best,
Jason

That the problem is not the link itself, but some flaw in the internal
compilation of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for temporary executables within the
build tree: Here "../../gtk/gtk-query-immodules-2.0".

This problem affects all exectuables libtool links and the build process
uses them directly from the build tree, if some used libraries are a
modified part of the build process themselves and if these library
version are already installed with the same version: Here
"libgtk-x11-2.0.so", which is installed and a modified version exists
in "../../gtk/.libs", as I assume.

You will notice that ../../gtk/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 is a script with
an embedded LD_LIBRARY_PATH that points to /usr/lib32.

This should work though. At least LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D../../gtk/.libs ldd
/tmp/gtk+/gtk/.libs/lt-gtk-query-immodules-2.0 should get you the
correct list of libraries.

Also try

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D../../gtk/.libs
/tmp/gtk+/gtk/.libs/lt-gtk-query-immodules-2.0 im-am-et.la \
im-cedilla.la im-cyrillic-translit.la  im-inuktitut.la im-ipa.la \
im-multipress.la im-thai.la im-ti-er.la im-ti-et.la im-viqr.la \
im-xim.la=20

or tune the embedded LD_LIBRARY_PATH in=20
=2E./../gtk/gtk-query-immodules-2.0

I have posted some patch for this behaviour some time ago against libtool
git source, that reorders the compiled LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the temporary
executable scripts.

That the problem is not the link itself, but some flaw in the internal
compilation of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH for temporary executables within the
build tree: Here "../../gtk/gtk-query-immodules-2.0".

This problem affects all exectuables libtool links and the build process
uses them directly from the build tree, if some used libraries are a
modified part of the build process themselves and if these library
version are already installed with the same version: Here
"libgtk-x11-2.0.so", which is installed and a modified version exists
in "../../gtk/.libs", as I assume.

You will notice that ../../gtk/gtk-query-immodules-2.0 is a script with
an embedded LD_LIBRARY_PATH that points to /usr/lib32.

This should work though. At least LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D../../gtk/.libs ldd
/tmp/gtk+/gtk/.libs/lt-gtk-query-immodules-2.0 should get you the
correct list of libraries.

Also try

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=3D../../gtk/.libs
/tmp/gtk+/gtk/.libs/lt-gtk-query-immodules-2.0 im-am-et.la \
im-cedilla.la im-cyrillic-translit.la  im-inuktitut.la im-ipa.la \
im-multipress.la im-thai.la im-ti-er.la im-ti-et.la im-viqr.la \

or tune the embedded LD_LIBRARY_PATH in=20

I have posted some patch for this behaviour some time ago against libtool
git source, that reorders the compiled LD_LIBRARY_PATH for the temporary
executable scripts.

OOPS:  SORRY !                                                                                             this should be ^'stdc\+\+[^.]*\.la'

So yes, those stdc++*.la references were bogus, sorry !

Please, Mike, why is libtool not using some form of dynamic setting of $sys_lib_search_path_spec from $CC and $CFLAGS ???

Hi Mike - thanks for responding ! Sorry, I didn't realize capitals were somehow offensive.

RE:  >  the libtool as found in $PATH targets the toolchain is was configured for

Yes,  I know this,  but perhaps I made insufficiently clear what led to me raising these
bugs was the errors / anomalies observed when just running ./libtool via
"configure" / "autogen.sh" and "make" .
Then I looked at the /usr/bin/libtool to see what it was doing that could shed light on these bugs; 
that's the only program that libtool installs from its source that one can test , and is mentioned
in the documentation - many of the documentation examples would fail if the $CFLAGS used in
them selects a different $sys_lib_search_path , because the /usr/bin/libtool program would use
the wrong $sys_lib_search_path_spec setting .

For bug 8537, this was a combination of poppler's libtool using '-nostdlibs' and triggering glibc bug #12454 ,
and for bug 8557, this was mainly because of that stdc++.la being referenced in some installed /usr/lib*/*.la file.

Perhaps a really nice new feature for libtool would be some option to make all libtool scripts not install any .la files in /{,lib,usr/lib}*/  
and to ignore any .la files found there ? Or at least, when some .la is not found, to print which .la it was sourcing that caused it to
look for the missing .la ? ( Some ".la backtrace" feature ? )

And why if the $CFLAGS makes gcc look in /usr/lib32 first , and never look in /usr/lib64, should ANY libtool script be looking for a 32-bit .la 
or anything  in /usr/lib64/ ?

I thought perhaps it was because those compiled scripts somehow inherited the sys_lib_search_path_spec setting behaviour from
the /usr/bin/libtool script . Why install /usr/bin/libtool if it is not meant to be used for anything but gcc ?

Anyway, installing libtool from the GIT head (requiring upgrade to automake-1.11a) seemed to fix the poppler build problem so I guess these
bugs can be closed if noone thinks there are any valid issues raised by them - sorry if this is the case.

I'd like to investigate further exactly why the poppler lib32 build specified -nostdlibs and triggered glibc bug 12454 with libtool-2.4.1 and automake 1.10.3 
but did not with libtool-2.4.1a and automake-1.11a  .

And I'd still like an answer to the basic question "why is libtool doing so much on Linux when gcc gets it right on its own" ?
I don't think libtool should be doing things like forcing a library search path and -nostdlibs and predep_objects and postdep_objects
on gcc when it doesn't actually need to - ie unless there are exceptional circumstances when it is actually required . But this seems to be libtool's default behavior.
I'm curious as to what the rational is in forcing -nostdlib builds that explicitly specify all the CRT objects when gcc generally does this fine,
except in very rare and exceptional circumstances.

But thanks for your help,
all the best,
Jason

if you run with --debug, you can grep for .la files in the output

although it's usually pretty easy to just look at the output and
guess.  if libtool is invoked with -lfoo and the verbose output from
libtool says /usr/lib/libfoo.so, it most likely hit an .la file for
it.

hardcoding 64bit:/usr/lib64 and 32bit:/usr/lib32 doesnt make sense ...
these are arbitrary conventions picked by gcc specifically for
i686/x86_64 linux targets.  libtool has no concept of multilib today
which is why you have to configure libtool specifically for each
build.

ultimately this decision is up to your distro provider, but installing
the default libtool is useful for building/linking with the
default/native target.  there are also (poorly written) packages that
invoke `libtool` from $PATH instead of bundling its own local version.

your view of libtool is clouded by your very narrow focus on recent
versions of gcc/Linux targets.  libtool scales to many many more
targets, and its complex system is designed to handle severly
deficient targets.  albeit at the cost of being more complex than
necessary for some modern/sane targets.

But I, as the end user and "distro maintainer" of my own distro, want to produce a compatible
version of libtool for linux for use on it that does not do anything too complicated unless it needs to .

I've always greatly admired autoconf, automake and libtool for their ability to build and install 
software on such a huge variety of platforms, but always hated trying to get them to build
and install software that is truly optimized for only one OS and toolchain .

With a "one size fits all" approach, it is too easy to make all software perform equally poorly on all platforms -
I'm not saying autoconf / automake / libtool does this, but it enforces alot of complicated configuration operations on platforms where
literally typing 'make c.o' where 'c.c' exists will do the job without anything else at all (no Makefile required even) .

I'm developing a 100% GNU make(1) and bash(1) and coreutils dependant replacement for the "configure" step - NO other dependancies required -
that will generate  'Makefile's and ./libtool with very simple commands if it finds itself to be running on a "quick configure platform" , it will skip configure 
and just generate simple autoconf generated files.
I have a make library that can source and execute m4 configure macros,  and could make it construct a "configure" script and "libtool" script in make 
"define ... endef"s that can be dumped to files or sourced . Personally, I prefer programming in GNU make(1) and using macro processors such
as cpp or autotext or the shell to programming in m4 , and there is no reason why this shouldn't be permitted on platforms with a fully functional
GNU development tools and utilities toolchain .

I'll post the results to libtool-devel@HIDDEN or whatever it should be sent when this is complete and fully tested (for Linux at least).

All the best,
Jason
