[gentoo-user] "xyz.la seems to be moved" message

[Meino Christian Cramer]

Hi,

 while doing a revdep-rebuild I got A LOT of messages of the pattern

	   lib<xyz>.la seems to be moved

 I recorded that messages and finally after some modifying these
 libraries are affected:

     libICE.la                       libgnome-2.la
     libORBit-2.la                   libgnome-keyring.la
     libSM.la                        libgnomecanvas-2.la

     libgcrypt.la                    libpangocairo-1.0.la
     libgdk-x11-2.0.la               libpangoft2-1.0.la
     libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la            libpng.la
     libglade-2.0.la                 libpopt.la
     libglib-2.0.la                  libsoup-2.2.la
     libgmodule-2.0.la               libtasn1.la
                                     ilibxml2.la


  As an example I looked into /usr/lib/libICE.la and found:

    # libICE.la - a libtool library file
    # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.5.22 (1.1220.2.365 2005/12/18 22:14:06)
    #

    # It is necessary for linking the library.
    
    # The name that we can dlopen(3).
    dlname='libICE.so.6'
    
    # Names of this library.
    library_names='libICE.so.6.3.0 libICE.so.6 libICE.so'
    
    # The name of the static archive.
    old_library='libICE.a'
    
    # Libraries that this one depends upon.
    dependency_libs=''
    
    # Version information for libICE.
    current=9

    # Is this an already installed library?
    installed=yes
    
    # Should we warn about portability when linking against -modules?
    shouldnotlink=no
    
    # Files to dlopen/dlpreopen
    dlopen=''
    dlpreopen=''
    
    # Directory that this library needs to be installed in:
    libdir='/usr/lib'

    
 I checked the paths inside that file and found that they are correct.    
   

 But what is the reason for these mass of "seems to ne moved"
 messages? Where are the according (wrong) informations stored?

 Thank you very much for any help in advance!

AFAIR this happens because the files are 'installed' in a temp dir and then 
copied over into the life system when you emerge something.

That question came up some month ago. You might find a better answer in the 
archives.

  Unfortunately it slows down compiling, when compiling each C-file
  spits a long list of "seems to be moved" messages onto my
  screen. That's the reason I want to find the "wrong path information"
  which causes this behaviour.

During compilation of x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6 gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
gets created in ${S} (/var/tmp/paludis/x11-libs/gtk+-2.10.6/work/gtk+-2.10.6).
It contains this:

# grep ^dep gdk-pixbuf/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.la
dependency_libs=' /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la -ldl /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgobject-2.0.la /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.la /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libglib-2.0.la -lrt -lm '

So looking at the first .la file in it's dependency_list:

# grep ^libdir /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..//libgmodule-2.0.la
libdir='/usr/lib'

I believe in this case the message simply means that
'/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../..' != '/usr/lib':

# grep -C 1 "seems to be moved" /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh
    if test "$absdir" != "$libdir"; then
        $echo "$modename: warning: \`$deplib' seems to be moved" 1>&2
    fi

Why do you think it's significant?

Because I see, how long it takes to oputput the whole list each time
a C-file gets compiled...

I saved the patch at the above link to /root/libtool.patch, but I can't
figure out how to use it.  I assume that I would need to navigate to a
directory and say "patch < /root/libtool.patch", but what directory do I
do it from?  If I do it from /usr/share/libtool, I get this:

camille libtool # patch </root/libtool.patch
patching file ltmain.sh
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2795.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file ltmain.sh.rej

If I do it from /, I get this:

camille / # patch </root/libtool.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 3
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

Hi Michael,

 I applied the patch by hand, my be it will work with the
 patch-command too.

 If you want to try it:
 cd /usr/share/libtool/. and apply the patch there with

   patch -p0 -i <your file of the patch here>

 If it does not work for you, please email me, I will send you the
 laready patched ltmain.sh attached to a private mail.

 Keep hacking!

I think I'm doing it wrong:

camille libtool # patch -p0 -i /root/libtool.patch
patching file ltmain.sh
Hunk #1 FAILED at 2795.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file ltmain.sh.rej

Hi Michael,
 
 ...no, you did nothing wrong...

 "...hunk FAILED..." means: The file to be patched is to different
 from that one, from which the original patch was made.

 There is another way:
 As root edit /usr/share/libtool/ltmain.sh by hand (I did the same):
 In the file search for the string "seems to be moved" and then
 compare the context of that line with the text of the patch: There is
 one line to be removed and I think four or so to be added. Notging
 too complicate. Make a backup copy of ltmain.sh before. Make a diff
 afterwards and compare the output with the patch.

 If all fails: Mail me privately and we will find a solution.

 Keep hacking!
