Description Klaus Muth 2000-11-23 13:43:18 UTC

I tried to compile CUPS on 7.0 but it chokes on linking pdftops:
echo Linking pdftops...
Linking pdftops...
g++ -Wall -fPIC -O2 -g3 -o pdftops pdftops.o libxpdf.a -L../cups -lcups
-lnsl -lpam -ldl -lcrypt  -lm
libxpdf.a(PSOutputDev.o): In function `PSOutputDev::PSOutputDev(char *,
Catalog *, int, int, int, int)':
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/cups-1.1.4/pdftops/OutputDev.h:32: undefined
reference to `OutputDev virtual table'
libxpdf.a(PSOutputDev.o): In function `PSOutputDev::PSOutputDev(char *,
Catalog *, int, int, int, int)':
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/cups-1.1.4/pdftops/PSOutputDev.cxx:235: undefined
reference to `PSOutputDev virtual table'
libxpdf.a(PSOutputDev.o): In function `PSOutputDev::PSOutputDev(char *,
Catalog *, int, int, int, int)':
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/cups-1.1.4/pdftops/OutputDev.h:35: undefined
reference to `OutputDev virtual table'

And so on for some other 100 lines. Same links on 6.2 with the old 
2.95 without complaining. Hey I _NEED_ CUPS here.

I tried it again yesterday with gcc[-c++]-2.96-63 from rawhide and the
glibc update. Same with the newer gcc: does not link.

Verified as preprocessor bug, will be fixed in cpp-2.96-70.
In the mean time, if you change OPTIM in toplevel Makedefs from -g3 to -g,
everything should work fine.
The issue was that with -g3, preprocessor outputs all #defines into the
preprocessed file so that dwarf2 can use them, but defines set through
cpp0 command line were output before first #line command (and cc1plus requires
the name of the input file for #pragma implementation to be on the first line
in the file).
