>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE i386
>Environment:
Affects anyone running or building software dependent
on libc-client.so.2.1 or libc-client.a In particular
TkRat (ratatosk) GUI E-Mail port just imported on the
closed: ports/4857.
>Description:
Currently ports/mail/imap-uw installs 3 daemons, one
user-level binary and both shared and static c-client
libraries. Also a couple of manpages for the imapd and
pop?d daemons.
It does *not* install the .h files matching the libraries
and does not run ldconfig -m ${PREFIX}/lib
pkg_delete does not run ldconfig (unless it's doing that
automatically, and I didn't realize it).
>How-To-Repeat:
Install TkRat on a system that does not have imap-uw
previously installed - or attempt to install other
software dependent on the .h files being installed.
Because the current version of the imap-uw distribution
archive is *part* of the tkrat distribution archive,
the make should not fail, but the run of TkRat will
fail until ldconfig has added the c-client library to
the hints.
>Fix:
Work-around: run "/sbin/ldconfig -m /usr/local/lib" or
reboot before running TkRat. This fixes the missing
part of the install for the libc-client.so.2.1
Work-around: ldconfig IS run if imap-uw is installed
as a package, instead of a port.
Fix: Add ldconfig to commands in the top-level Makefile
add @unexec /sbin/ldconfig -m %B to the package PLIST
Add headers to both the Makefile and PLIST. At a minimum
add installation of c-client/mail.h
Ideally install c-client/*.h to ${PREFIX}/include
This will assist those using the extension provisions of
the existing c-client library to add new mailbox formats
or protocols. mail.h does *not* depend on these other .h
files, however, so such install would be optional.
