Subject: why doesn't libgcj link against libiconv?
Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2011 14:33:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20110616143319.GA11931@bromo.med.uc.edu> (raw)
I am running into a very odd bug on darwin with both gcc-4_6-branch
and gcc trunk. Last year I added a patch to insure that when gcc was
built with -with-libiconv-prefix=/sw, that libgcj.spec would provide the
necessary linkage "-L/sw/lib -liconv" to access the correct libiconv.
For some unknown reason the installed libgcj.spec now loses LDLIBICONV.
The weird part is that the libgcj.spec generated in the build directory
still has it...

[MacPro:darwin_objdir/x86_64-apple-darwin11.0.0/libjava] howarth% more libgcj.spec
#
# This spec file is read by gcj when linking.
# It is used to specify the standard libraries we need in order
# to link with libgcj.

%rename startfile startfileorig

%rename lib liborig
*lib: %{s-bc-abi:} -lgcj -L/sw/lib -liconv -lz %{!Zdynamiclib:%{!Zbundle:-allow_stack_execute}} %(libgcc) %(liborig) -no_pie
*jc1: -fhash-synchronization -fuse-divide-subroutine -fcheck-references -fuse-boehm-gc -fnon-call-exceptions -fkeep-inline-functions
but the installed libgcc.spec doesn't...
[MacPro:~] howarth% cd /sw/lib/gcc4.7/lib
[MacPro:lib/gcc4.7/lib] howarth% more libgcj.spec

*jc1: -fhash-synchronization -fuse-divide-subroutine -fcheck-references -fuse-boehm-gc -fnon-call-exceptions -fkeep-inline-functions
Note that I hardcoded -no_pie I added to libgcj.spec.in is retained.
I am wondering if we really need to have @LDLIBICONV@ in libgcj.spec.in to solve this. Why can't
we simply pass @LDLIBICONV@ to the linkage of libgcj itself so that libgcj,dylib is directly linked against the appropriate
libiconv to resolve those iconv symbols? Would this approach be acceptable?
