Hi, For the past year, I've been (on and off) working with ola upstream on getting new-gcc (first 9, then 10) and python3 issues resolved, so that I would be able to get it into bullseye again. We're almost there, except for one thing that mystifies me.
As part of the autopkgtest, I build a small program that initializes libola to make sure that a basic initialization works. This worked previously, but now fails with: autopkgtest [15:27:45]: test command6: - - - - - - - - - - stderr - - - - - - - - - - /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cczs0VkU.o: warning: relocation against `_ZTVN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorE' in read-only section `.text._ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD5Ev]' /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cczs0VkU.o: in function `main': hw.cc:(.text+0x11): undefined reference to `ola::io::LoopbackDescriptor::LoopbackDescriptor()' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text+0x24): undefined reference to `ola::client::OlaClient::OlaClient(ola::io::ConnectedDescriptor*)' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text+0x30): undefined reference to `ola::client::OlaClient::Setup()' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text+0xc1): undefined reference to `ola::client::OlaClient::~OlaClient()' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text+0xe0): undefined reference to `ola::client::OlaClient::~OlaClient()' /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cczs0VkU.o: in function `ola::io::BidirectionalFileDescriptor::~BidirectionalFileDescriptor()': hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io27BidirectionalFileDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io27BidirectionalFileDescriptorD5Ev]+0xf): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::BidirectionalFileDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io27BidirectionalFileDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io27BidirectionalFileDescriptorD5Ev]+0x1d): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::BidirectionalFileDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cczs0VkU.o: in function `ola::io::ConnectedDescriptor::~ConnectedDescriptor()': hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io19ConnectedDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io19ConnectedDescriptorD5Ev]+0xf): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::ConnectedDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io19ConnectedDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io19ConnectedDescriptorD5Ev]+0x1d): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::ConnectedDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cczs0VkU.o: in function `ola::io::LoopbackDescriptor::~LoopbackDescriptor()': hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD5Ev]+0xf): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::LoopbackDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD5Ev]+0x1d): undefined reference to `vtable for ola::io::LoopbackDescriptor' /usr/bin/ld: hw.cc:(.text._ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD2Ev[_ZN3ola2io18LoopbackDescriptorD5Ev]+0x31): undefined reference to `ola::io::LoopbackDescriptor::Close()' /usr/bin/ld: warning: creating DT_TEXTREL in a PIE collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status autopkgtest [15:27:45]: @@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@ summary (as observed on https://salsa.debian.org/wouter/ola/-/jobs/1173462#L1297) >From what I can make out, the first message happens when a file is compiled without -fPIC and then linked into a shared library. This would be surprising if that is the reason, for libola is built using libtool throughout, and trying the build on stable works with no problem whatsoever.
