Hey All,
I was doing a rebuild of my ports to relink them with libc and libm now
that there are new versions out, and most of them went smoothly.
However, I couldn't get gtk+2 working. I noticed that it was failing on
a problem with gdk-pixbuf. I checked, and gdk_pixbuf libraries were
installed, but the gdk-pixbuf package wasn't actually installed. When I
attempted to build the gtk+2 port, it would have problems linking
against gdk_pixbuf, and would attempt to link against the old libm.
I tried to install gdk-pixbuf over the old files, but this didn't seem
to work. So I took the gdk_pixbuf* libraries and moved them to another
location. I then installed gdk-pixbuf again, and ran the gtk+2 build
again. This time it worked.
Does anyone know what is going on here and why? I checked out the
Makefile in gtk+2 and noticed that a SHARED_LIBS is defined for
gdk_pixbuf-2.0.1200.10, but the newer gdk-pixbuf package doesn't install
or update this file. In fact, I was able to install gtk+2 without ever
installing gdk-pixbuf until now. Huh?
I hope I'm just making some kind of stupid oversight here, but if not,
maybe this really is some problem?
Aaron
