2009-08-24 Stepan Kasal perl-Wx did not run if wxGTK-devel was not installed. The problem was that the package containes list of dynamic libraries to open, and that it had the *.so links, that are normally used by ld only, not by the dynamic linker. Consequently, these links go to the devel subpackage in every sane distro. soname can be displayed by objdump or eu-readelf. But first, we need the full path name; for standard paths, gcc can help. 2009-08-24 Stepan Kasal * inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config_Bakefile.pm: convert the lib*.so file name to the canonical soname. --- Alien-wxWidgets-0.44/inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config_Bakefile.pm.soname 2009-08-09 13:13:40.000000000 +0200 +++ Alien-wxWidgets-0.44/inc/My/Build/Any_wx_config_Bakefile.pm 2009-08-24 15:44:10.000000000 +0200 @@ -35,7 +35,14 @@ && $lib =~ m/(?:gtk2?|mac)[ud]{0,2}-/; my $dll = "lib${name}." . $self->awx_dlext; - $data{dlls}{$key} = { dll => $dll, + my $dll_path = `gcc -print-file-name=$dll`; + chomp $dll_path; + my $dll_soname = 'not_found'; + if ( -r "$dll_path" && `objdump -p $dll_path` =~ m/^\s+SONAME\s+(\S+)/m) { + $dll_soname = $1; + } + + $data{dlls}{$key} = { dll => $dll_soname, link => $lib }; } if( $self->awx_is_monolithic ) {
