Trying to build CVS GDB. It fails in the tk stage with (command wrapped):
rm -f libtk8.3.so
gcc -pipe -shared -o libtk8.3.so [a gazillion object files]
-Wl,-rpath,/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-14/lib:/usr/X11R6/lib
-L/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-14/lib -ltclstub8.3 -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lX11 -ldl -lieee -lm -lc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ltclstub8.3
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
gmake[2]: *** [libtk8.3.so] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pme/build/build-2002-07-14/tk/unix'
Looking in the generated Makefile, I see the rule being fired is
${TK_LIB_FILE}: ${OBJS}
rm -f ${TK_LIB_FILE}
${SHLIB_LD} -o ${TK_LIB_FILE} ${OBJS} $(TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS) -L/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-14/lib -ltclstub8.3${TCL_DBGX} ${LIBS}
@case ${TK_LIB_FILE} in *.a) $(TK_RANLIB) ${TK_LIB_FILE};; esac
Okay, that's obvious enough. The -l is being given, but not the correct
-L, since tcl hasn't been installed yet (the tree is still building).
Where is this line generated from? The tk/unix/Makefile.in has the entire
line written as @MAKE_LIB@.
This in turn is set in tk/unix/configure.in with
MAKE_LIB="\${SHLIB_LD} -o \${TK_LIB_FILE} \${OBJS} \$(TK_LD_SEARCH_FLAGS) ${TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC} \${LIBS}"
so the "-L$prefix/lib -ltclstub8.3" is clearly the expansion of
TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC. However, this variable seems to be set in some other
tclConfig file, and that's as far as I got before giving up.
Am I the only one seeing this? It would seem that the Tk build requires
all the Tcl stuff to have been /installed/, not just built, before it itself
can build. Perhaps the majority (totality?) of the developers already have
a Tcl installation somewhere in the default paths searched by the linker?

What does "cat config.status" give? I just built for linux with and
without --enable-shared, and it worked just fine.
Is it pulling in the right tclConfig.sh (the one in the build tree). Tcl
should definately not need to be installed to build tk in our tree.

Which config.status? The one in {build}/tcl/unix or the one in
{build}/tk/unix? Or a third one? I looked through the first two and
nothing jumped out at me.

How do I tell?

Any of them will do. It'll just tell me how you configured your toolchain
(host, target, build).

Take a look at the config.cache in your build directory. Look for a
variable with "tclconfig" in it. It should be pointing to a file in the
source tree. If not, it got the wrong one.

Oh, that. It's an i686 native build. Here's the toplevel config.status
(the nice tiny one):
#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure. Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
/home/pme/src/unified/configure
--with-gcc-version-trigger=/home/pme/src/unified/gcc/version.c
--host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --prefix=/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-15
--quiet --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++ --disable-nls --disable-sim
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-install-libiberty
--enable-concept-checks --enable-symvers --enable-gdbtk --with-dwarf2

It's getting the right one:
11% cd build/build-2002-07-15
12% grep tclconfig config.cache
ac_cv_c_itclconfig=${ac_cv_c_itclconfig=/home/pme/build/build-2002-07-15/itcl/itcl}
ac_cv_c_tclconfig=${ac_cv_c_tclconfig=/home/pme/build/build-2002-07-15/tcl/unix}
13% ls -lF tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 pme pme 7449 Jul 15 10:40 tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
14% grep TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC tcl/unix/tclConfig.sh
TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC='-L/home/pme/build/install-2002-07-15/lib -ltclstub8.3${TCL_DBGX}'
15%
I opened tclConfig.sh, intending to hack the build path in there just so
I can get the rest of the tree to build, and noticed the other variables
alongside TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC. So instead of changing that file, I went
back into the source and made this change instead:

So now instead of MAKE_LIB reading "-L{prefix}/lib -lstubname" it reads

Hmmm. Odd. Mine builds just fine without any of this. Alas, as Mo and you
indicate, it seems that this is necessary. At the very least, it seems
that it is correct to use the build spec in our tree.
I'll check it in.

Ah, cool. I just now went to the archives and read Mo's message.
(I didn't know that the shared library is a relatively recent thing.
It explains some of the other hacks I have in my local tree, e.g., don't
run ranlib on a .so.)

I fixed enable-shared a long time ago, but I must have missed this
instance (because it worked for me).
Anyway, as soon as I've convinced myself that everything is okay, I'll
commit Mo's patch.

Somewhere, a few moons ago, I found a link problem that only manifested
on my non-RH systems, because a particular library happened to be in
/usr/lib under the default RH install. On the other boxes, something in
the insight/gdb build was failing to link due to the missing library --
which was present in the tree, just not in a directory that was searched.
I sent a message to some list somewhere, but I don't recall which.
I should hunt it down just for completeness.

Thanks very much for the help!

The problem here only shows up when --enable-shared is passed
and that was never tested as part of the 8.3 upgrade because we
always build static under Unix. At any rate, here is the most
simple little fix for the problem.
2002-07-14 Mo DeJong <supermo@bayarea.net>
* unix/configure: Regen.
* unix/configure.in: Use TCL_BUILD_STUB_LIB_SPEC instead of
TCL_STUB_LIB_SPEC when defining MAKE_LIB since we want to
link to the libtclstub in the build directory.
