Hi Everyone, I'm trying to track down a failure in building libidn. IDN uses Gnulib, and IDN's 'make check' is failing on the Gnulib test runner. IDN's earlier test runners pass, and I think the issue is related Gnulib.
First, here is a successful runner. IDN's runners 1 and 2 do this: libtool: link: gcc -g2 -O2 -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -march=native -fPIC -pthread -fsanitize=address -Wl,-R -Wl,/var/sanitize/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -o test-verify test-verify.o -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/var/sanitize/lib64 libtests.a ../../lib/gl/.libs/libgnu.a libtests.a -ldl -lpthread -pthread gmake[4]: Leaving directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/lib/gltests' gmake check-TESTS gmake[4]: Entering directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/lib/gltests' gmake[5]: Entering directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/lib/gltests' PASS: test-alloca-opt PASS: test-c-ctype ... Second, here is a failed Gnulib runner. IDN's runner 3 does this: libtool: link: gcc -g2 -O2 -fsanitize=address -fno-omit-frame-pointer -march=native -fPIC -pthread -fsanitize=address -Wl,-R -Wl,/var/sanitize/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -o tst_tld tst_tld.o -Wl,--no-as-needed -L/var/sanitize/lib64 libutils.a ../lib/.libs/libidn.so ../gl/.libs/libgnu.a -ldl -lpthread -pthread -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/home/build/libidn-1.35/lib/.libs -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/var/sanitize/lib64 gmake[2]: Leaving directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/tests' gmake check-TESTS gmake[2]: Entering directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/tests' gmake[3]: Entering directory '/home/build/libidn-1.35/tests' FAIL: tst_stringprep FAIL: tst_punycode ... In the failed run, notice two things. (1) my LDFLAGS (Wl,-R -Wl,/var/sanitize/lib64 -Wl,--enable-new-dtags) got overridden by Gnulib's LDFLAGS (-Wl,-rpath -Wl,/var/sanitize/lib64). (2) Gnulib's path does not include /home/build/libidn-1.35/gl/.libs, which is where Gnulib is located As I understand things an RPATH cannoth be overridden by LD_LIBRARY_PATH, while a RUNPATH can be overridden by a LD_LIBRARY_PATH. My question are, (1) why id Gnulib using a rpath instead of a runpath? (2) why is Gnulib omitting <locations>/gl/.libs frm the runpath? And maybe a third... (3) why are runpaths being set for a static archive? Thanks in advance ========== This may be relevant: $ cd libidn-1.35 $ find . -name 'libgnu.*' ./lib/gl/.libs/libgnu.a ./lib/gl/.libs/libgnu.la ./lib/gl/libgnu.la ./gl/.libs/libgnu.a ./gl/.libs/libgnu.la ./gl/libgnu.la
