>Number: 2128 >Category: ports >Synopsis: ld fails unless ranlib is run on libexpect521.* >Confidential: no >Severity: critical >Priority: high >Responsible: freebsd-ports >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Fri Nov 29 20:10:01 PST 1996 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Adrian Filipi-Martin >Organization: UVA >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-ALPHA i386 >Environment: I am using ports-current ftp'ed from ftp6.freebsd.org on 11/29/96. >Description: Expect is misconfigured to do nothing when ranlib needs to be run. There also appears to be problems with generating the shared libraries. >How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/lang/expect # Remake MD5 checksum. It doesn't match. # One of the patches also does not apply correctly. mv patches/patch-ae patch-ae make >Fix: This is really a work around. 1. Edit /usr/ports/lang/expect/Makefile to disable shared library support. 2. Instead of just doing a "make install", first "make configure". Then edit the top level expect Makefile changing the value of RANLIB from ":" to "ranlib". Then "make install" like normal. >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
