Description Douglas Campbell 2006-12-16 06:07:19 UTC

Description of problem:
libtiff-devel deploys neither static library libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Every time (uninstalling/reinstalling libtiff-devel doesn't cure problem)
Problem occurs on both i386 and x86_64 systems.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install libtiff-devel
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
After successful install, examination of /usr/lib (on i386 and x86_64) shows no
libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a present, and examination of /usr/lib64 on x86_64
systems show no libtiff.a nor libtiffxx.a present.

Expected results:
libtiff.a and libtiffxx.a present in both the aforementioned areas.

Additional info:
Temporary workaround is to download correct version libtiff sources from
libtiff.org, build 32 bits under FC6, and to copy the libtiff.a and libtiffxx.a
elements built into the /usr/lib directory; then clean/build 64 bit (under
x86_64) and copy the .a's into /usr/lib64 directory.

The standard configured build provided by libtiff.org builds the .a files.

libtiff-static package created as of current F7 testing release, if that helps you any.

Comment 2 Douglas Campbell 2007-07-20 05:21:52 UTC

Thank you for the fc7 information.  I'm about to install it on an x86-64 system
and test.
