>Description:
All GNUStep applications like for example GNUMail or Project Center crash complaining about the gnustep-back bundle:


The problem seems to be that the gnustep-back bundle is linked against the wrong libraries (as I found out on osdir.com)
"The problem is the -R/usr/X11R7/lib flag on the command line. This option is understood by NetBSD's gcc and it ends up as an *initial* -R flag to the linker, whereas the -Wl,-R<dir> options stay in their place. That means that the broken libpixman will be found before the right one in /usr/pkg/lib. Unfortunately, the -R flag is added automatically by autoconf when testing for the X libraries, so we cannot get rid of it."
>How-To-Repeat:
pkg_add -v GNUMail
>Fix:
After a long search I found that someone was able to fix it:
compile gnustep-back with  ./configure LDFLAGS=-R/usr/pkg/lib

Here is the thread where they describe it:
http://osdir.com/ml/discuss-gnustep-gnu/2010-11/msg00147.html

however I wasn't able to change the Makefiles or patches to bring the success. Adding simply LDFLAGS=-R/usr/pkg/lib under the CONFIGURE+= into the pkgsrc Makefile didn't help.

 Hi Rene,
 I will definitely try it, at the latest at the weekend and I confirm the 
 fix.

 I tested the fix you suggested, but with bad result. I did a fresh 
 install of 5.1 with current pkgsrc, which I got with cvs on Friday 8th 
 April. GNUMail started this time, that was a difference, however when I 
 started to set up my mail account the app went down and would not start 
 again, here is the outcome from the terminal:

 $

 This seems to be still broken:

 % Ink
 /usr/pkg/lib/GNUstep/Bundles/libgnustep-back-018.bundle/./libgnustep-back-018: Undefined PLT symbol "FTC_Manager_New" (symnum = 376)

 The same error happens if gnustep-back is built to use native freetype2 and
 fontconfig instead of the pkgsrc ones.

 For reference, current pkgsrc gnustep apps are working fine for me on
 NetBSD-current.

 There is a fix to src/external/mit/xorg/lib/freetype/Makefile that
 might need to be pulled up to NetBSD-5 (r1.8).

 I'm also using the following patch with native x11, maybe somebody
 could confirm that it is correct. Without the patch pkgsrc versions of
 freetype2 and fontconfig were getting built even when they were
 already in the base system.

 With native X it should be ok (if the package builds with the
 freetype2/fontconfig in native X) -- the problem is that the minimum
 accepted version of a package in native X is incorrectly tied to the
 minimum accepted version in pkgsrc, which can and does get bumped for
 reasons that don't affect native X. Unfortunately, this isn't easy to
 fix.

 With pkgsrc X, the patch will break the build...
