Ok. Here's the deal. devel/libglade generates two libraries, libglade.so and libglade-gnome.so with the second dependent on functionality in the first. On the initial upgrade, everything worked fine for both myself (under -stable and -current) and Jeremy Lea (who also provided a chunk of input into those updates). However, a couple of other people (including Steve Price who took over the responsbility of committing the GNOME megapatch) had some weird build problems, which we finally tracked down to libtool not doing the right thing with (-rpath <dir> --> -Wl,--rpath -Wl,<dir>) for mode=link (the write up was sent to ports a while back -- check the archives). It's a particularly odd problem, since it only appears to affect a few people, and we've found no rhyme or reason as to the differences. The exact same port works for some people, but not others. For my part, I've rebuilt a few test systems (both -stable and -current, bootstrapped from 3.2-RELEASE and/or the current (at the time) snaps), and have been unable to reproduce the problem I have a (truly disgusting) quick hack to libtool to make it do the right thing, but I'm waiting to hear back comments from Jeremy, since it may have wide-reaching ramifications to all ports that use devel/libtool. > My environment is 3.2-RELEASE + 32 upgrade kit + > the cvs synced /usr/ports. > And how the problem is with the newer libglade, 0.4? The problem isn't with devel/libglade per se (I have the 0.4 update ready for a send-pr), but with devel/libtool. And again, only for some systems. I suppose we could remove the BROKEN tag from devel/libglade (and put math/gnumeric back into the gnome metaport), but it _will not_ work for some people. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
