>Description:
When using bsd.lib.mk, one has to define both SHLIB_MAJOR and SHLIB_MINOR,
with missing SHLIB_MINOR circular symlink is created at installation.
bsd.README should've mentioned, that both variables are required for
correct operation.
NetBSD bsd.lib.mk's behaviour differs from the above: it just doesn't
create symlinks, when SHLIB_MAJOR/SHLIB_MINOR variables are undefined.
When comparing /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/bootstrap-mk-files/files/bsd.lib.mk
and /usr/share/mk/bsd.lib.mk diff produces the following fragment:
.if ${OBJECT_FMT} == "ELF"
- ln -sf lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_FULLVERSION} lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}.tmp
+# We don't use INSTALL_SYMLINK here because this is just
+# happening inside the build directory/objdir. XXX Why does
+# this spend so much effort on libraries that aren't live??? XXX
+.if defined(SHLIB_FULLVERSION) && defined(SHLIB_MAJOR) && \
+ "${SHLIB_FULLVERSION}" != "${SHLIB_MAJOR}"
+ ${HOST_LN} -sf lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_FULLVERSION} lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}.tmp
mv -f lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}.tmp lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_MAJOR}
- ln -sf lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_FULLVERSION} lib${LIB}.so.tmp
+.endif
+ ${HOST_LN} -sf lib${LIB}.so.${SHLIB_FULLVERSION} lib${LIB}.so.tmp
mv -f lib${LIB}.so.tmp lib${LIB}.so
.endif
Most probably, pkgsrc mk files are too old compared to NetBSD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build test library with SHLIB_MAJOR set and SHLIB_MAJOR unset,
e.g. on FreeBSD 6.3 i386.
>Fix:
Update bootstrap-mk-files?
Fix documentation?
