 |
|
I've been using WindowMaker for 12 years or so and haven't found anything else I'm as comfortable with. With the recent update to libpng 1.6 wmaker fails to build. I'm getting this message:
| Code: | libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=native -O2 -pipe -DBOUNCE_APP -DNEWAPPICON -DVIRTUAL_DESKTOP -Wl,-O1 -o .libs/colorpick colorpick.o -Wl,--as-needed ../../WINGs/libWINGs.a ../../wrlib/.libs/libwraster.so -L/usr/lib64 -ltiff -lXpm -lpng -lz -ljpeg -lgif -lXext -lX11 -lm -lXft
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: ../../WINGs/libWINGs.a(wfont.o): undefined reference to symbol 'FcPatternDestroy'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.7.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'FcPatternDestroy' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1 so try adding it to the linker command line
/usr/lib64/libfontconfig.so.1: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
|
So, I'm not sure how to add libfontconfig.so.1 to the linker command line. Can anyone give me a clue? (Or should I just mask libpng 1.6?)
TIA |

| Which version of windowmaker? I have just compiled and installed windowmaker-0.95.5-r1 with libpng-1.6.8, and there were no issues. |

| Thanks, lost+found and paulj. I ~amd64 keyworded windowmaker and now 0.95.5-r1 builds fine. I prefer not to use testing versions, but I'll keep with this. |

Hi,
I have the same problem with the "stable" version 0.92.0-r11. Although going "unstable" would fix that, I do not consider this really a solution since stable packages should not be broken this way.
Therefore, I'm interested in other solutions (beside masking libpng 1.6).
Maybe installing libpng:1.5 additionally and somehow forcing windowmaker to use that one?
Greetings,
Jan |

 Again, this - like most of those that popped up recently - has nothing to do with any particular lib upgrade.
It's due to a behavior change in recent (well, not that recent anymore) ld.
Quite a few packages need linking patches - some of that has already been dealt with upstream, but quite a few (and the older versions) lag a little. |

Looks like they're about to stabilize windowmaker-0.95.5-r1
per https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=496082
as windowmaker-0.92.0-r11 is getting long in the tooth "Nov 12 2011" - last ebuild.
