[Bug 751142] Re: libtool path problem

[Carsten Haitzler]

well first... just take a look at the .la file. it's obviously wrong.
the actual location of it doesn't match what the .la internally states.
that wrongness DOES create bugs.

evas fails to build because the .la file GENERATED for eet (which evas
links to), is linked to libgcrypt, and libtool automatically includes
dependencies in the .la files it generates based on the content of
dependent .la files, so it happens one level down from the thing that
links to gcrypt.

i.e.
evas ---LINK---> eet ---LINK---> gcrypt

evas fails as the .la file for eet (libeet.la) in its dependencies lists
the gcrypt... which points to the wrong place. relevant logs and
snippets of files here:

-----------

notice the libeet.la in the dependency_libs has taken the /lib/i386
-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.la which is based on the libgcrypt.la file name
plus its erroneous libdir entry.  that is standard (correct) behavior
for libtool, but the supplied data in the libgcrypt.la file is wrong,
thus the problem. fix libdir to be /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu and it's all
hunky dory.

Title:
  libtool path problem

Status in “libgcrypt11” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: libgcrypt11

  The libgcrypt library is installed in /lib, whilst the devel libraries
  is installed in /usr/lib. In /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/libgcrypt.la it
  says libdir=/lib, which makes libraries look for libgcrypt.la in /lib,
  and thus fail.
