One of my ports (graphics/dia) is not using shared library
versioning (-avoid-version switch to libtool) i.e.
libraries are installed like that:
lib/dia/libcgm_filter.so
lib/dia/libchronogram_objects.so
lib/dia/libcustom_objects.so
lib/dia/libdxf_filter.so
lib/dia/liber_objects.so
lib/dia/libflowchart_objects.so
lib/dia/libfs_objects.so
lib/dia/libgrafcet_objects.so
lib/dia/libnetwork_objects.so
lib/dia/libpstricks_filter.so
lib/dia/libsadt_objects.so
lib/dia/libstandard_objects.so
lib/dia/libsybase_objects.so
lib/dia/libuml_objects.so
Above are of course only for internal use of the
particular application version, so there is no "shared
library API version" problem.
However, when checking PLIST, I usually PREFIX the port
onto something like "/tmp/port" and test ldconfig(1)
behaviour.
ldconfig(1) is unable to see them, because it looks for ".so."
filename fragment when scanning directories:
286 /* Find ".so." in name */
287 for (cp = name + n - 4; cp > name; --cp) {
288 if (cp[0] == '.' &&
289 cp[1] == 's' &&
290 cp[2] == 'o' &&
291 cp[3] == '.')
292 break;
293 }
When I attempt to launch dia from the temporary directory
it dies saying it's unable to find these librares.
{Somehow dia compiled with PREFIX unset
is ok - currently I am checking if it's not hardcoding
the "/usr/X11R6" prefix, thus violating $PREFIX rule}.
1. Is it necessary to add such libraries to the hints file?
And, am I supposed to add /usr/local/etc/rc.d/dia.sh file like
"modula-3-lib-3.6" port does?
2. If so, should I patch Makefiles to create fake ".0"
version numbers?
3. Should ldconfig(1) behaviour be changed?
