#38630: kerberos5: Undefined symbols: __et_list ---------------------------+---------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: cal@… Type: defect | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.1.3 Resolution: | Keywords: lion Port: kerberos5 | ---------------------------+---------------------- Comment (by jeremy.mcmillan@…): I can confirm on my Lion system it is trying to build {{{ cd "/opt/local/var/macports/build/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_ports_net_kerberos5/kerberos5/work/krb5-krb5-da9dc1b/src" && /usr/bin/make -j16 -w all }}} with no -L to help it find any libcom_err.dylib, especially the /opt/local/lib/libcom_err.dylib which I confirmed implements the missing __et_list symbol. I took a peek at the Makefile, and found it sets an interesting ld option: -search_paths_first. So then I looked it up and "man ld" yields this possibly interesting news: {{{ -search_paths_first This is now the default (in Xcode4 tools). When processing -lx the linker now searches each directory in its library search paths for `libx.dylib' then `libx.a' before the moving on to the next path in the library search path. -search_dylibs_first Changes the searching behavior for libraries. The default is that when processing -lx the linker searches each directory in its library search paths for `libx.dylib' then `libx.a'. This option changes the behavior to first search for a file of the form `libx.dylib' in each directory in the library search path, then a file of the form `libx.a' is searched for in the library search paths. This option restores the search behavior of the linker prior to Xcode4. }}} Makefile contains: {{{LDFLAGS = -arch x86_64 -arch i386 -Wl,-search_paths_first}}} Maybe I misunderstand, but the new Xcode's default linker option (set explicitly in the Macport, presumably to make the old Xcode llvm ld behave as the new one) seems to be set for searching default library paths. Trouble: $prefix is not defined until later in the Makefile, so I'm not sure how $prefix/lib should be added to the -L linker options. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/38630#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
