Description Jehan 2020-06-21 18:04:06 UTC
Description of problem:

The dev tool `gio-querymodules` is renamed to `gio-querymodules-%{__isa_bits}` (e.g. `gio-querymodules-64`) in Fedora manifest. Cf. https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/glib2/blob/master/f/glib2.spec#_120

This breaks builds of applications depending on this tool (for instance GTK) if they expect to find it as `gio-querymodules`. This was reported to upstream Glib (specifically for the Fedora change; which I also encountered) which added some variables inside the GIO pkg-config file. So instead of searching for the binary in PATH, projects are now encouraged to look for the result of:

> pkg-config --variable=gio_querymodules gio-2.0

Glib bug report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/issues/1796
Glib patch: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/glib/-/merge_requests/881

Now main thing missing is for Fedora to edit the `gio-2.0.pc` file if you continue modifying the tool name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): I encountered the issue in `glib2-2.62.6-1.fc31.x86_64` from Fedora 31, but since I see the RPM manifest is still changing the tool name while not editing the `.pc` file, then I assume the issue still exist in Fedora 32 or rawhide.


How reproducible: always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run:

> pkg-config --variable=gio_querymodules gio-2.0 

Actual results:

> /usr/bin/gio-querymodules

Expected results:

Because Fedora manifest renamed the tool to `gio-querymodules-64` on Fedora 64-bit, the command should return:

> /usr/bin/gio-querymodules-64

Additional info:


Just edit the manifest `/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/gio-2.0.pc` so that:

> gio_querymodules=${bindir}/gio-querymodules

becomes:

> gio_querymodules=${bindir}/gio-querymodules-64

A simple `sed` after `%meson_install` in the RPM manifest would do the trick.
