[opensuse-programming] libXau-devel and missing libXau.la
Hello all, Not sure if this is the right list to mention this so if it isn't, perhaps someone can enlighten me :) I am using openSUSE 10.3 with Xorg 7.3 from the repo: http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/X11:/XOrg/openSUSE_10.3/ When I compile source that uses libtool, I get a linking error saying that libXau.la cannot be found. If I downgrade to xorg-X11-libXau 7.2-54 (from suse-oss repo) I can link without any problems. I checked the contents of the 7.3 rpm for libXau-devel and in fact, libXau.la is missing. The file is present in the 7.2 rpm though. Is this a bug in the libXau-devel 7.3 rpm? If not, how can I convince libtool to be quiet? ;) I don't directly use libXau so I can only assume that some other library requires it? Also, is there any problems with having libXau 7.2 when I have Xorg 7.3?

No, we (Novell) removed .la on purpose.

By checking the Makefile for where the request for libXau.la comes from and change that to directly use -lXau.If you don't succeed, post the URL to the package and I'll check it.

The problem is that I have come across this error from two KDevelop projects (both managed by Automake). The first being tweaK: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php/tweaK?content=51170 The second is a program I made awhile back using KDevelop. In both cases, ./configure passes and the programs compile. They both fail at the linking. Perhaps I need to change something in the Makefile.in or configure.in? Or should I email the kdevelop mailing list and see if there is something that needs to be changed in kdevelop so that it does not use libXau.la and instead uses -lXau?

Philipp, After some more digging I have found the cause of the mysterious libXau.la dependancy in my project. I use SDL, SDL_image, SDL_gfx and SDL_ttf in my project. After doing: $ grep libXau.la /usr/lib/*.la I see that the .la files for those libraries reference /usr/lib/libXau.la (so does SDL_mixer and libX11 but I don't use SDL_mixer and leaving libX11.la alone seemed to be ok so far). Going with your suggestion, I replaced the occurrence of /usr/lib/libXau.la (in those .la files that I use) with -lXau. Now my program links and runs fine. So, does this mean that the SDL rpms need to be rebuilt to reflect the Xorg 7.3 rpms? Alvin On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 10:35 PM, Alvin <alvinbeach@gmail.com> wrote:

I thought something like that. Normally the .la files are pulled in either by other .la files or via .pc files, i.e. the output of pkg_config.

Yes, as during that rebuild libtool will create SDL*.la files with correct references. BTW, if these are SuSE SDL packages, I'd suggest that you file a bug at https://bugzilla.novell.com so that the packages might get updated. If you do so, add pth@novell.com as CC to the bug.

My SDL (and variants) come from either the suse-oss or the openSUSE 10.3 update repos. I'll file a bug report shortly. However, would updating the SDL .la files effect users who use the stock Xorg 7.2 that comes with openSUSE 10.3?
