Description Tadej Janež 2011-09-10 08:24:42 UTC
Description of problem:

I just noticed a strange rpath issue with my PyQwt package.

Building the latest git version on F-16 and F-17 results in
"-rpath,/usr/lib64" being appended to the g++ compiler options.
Build logs of scratch builds are here:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3332309&name=build.log
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3332685&name=build.log

However, building the latest git version on F-15 doesn't exhibit this
problem. See build log:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3332430&name=build.log

What has changed between F-15 and F-16 so that "-rpath,/usr/lib64" gets
appended to g++ options?

What is the best way to fix this?

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
PyQwt-5.2.0-14.fc17.x86_64
sip-devel-4.12.4-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:
Always

Comment 1 Tadej Janež 2011-09-10 08:26:26 UTC
Some additional background:

I raised the question on the devel mailing list and Kevin Kofler suggested it may be sip regression:

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2011-09-14 18:46:05 UTC
The easiest/quick-n-dirty method is to simply use
chrpath --delete
on the affected items in %install

(This is what I've done in PyQt4)

In the meantime, I'm looking into other options on the sip side of things...

Comment 3 Kevin Kofler 2011-09-14 20:04:43 UTC
I see you disabled the rpath stuff altogether by commenting it out now. An upstreamable version would probably check if the directory is one of the known system directories (/usr/lib and /usr/lib64, in particular), and add the rpath if and only if it's not known.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2011-09-14 20:32:02 UTC
I thought about that, but still not quite good enough.  It tries to rpath every -L<dir> , including (non-relative) ones in the build-tree. :(

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2011-09-14 20:33:06 UTC
but... that's still a start on something upstreamable anyway, I'll likely do that when I have more time to look at it.

Comment 6 Tadej Janež 2011-09-17 20:59:32 UTC
Yesterday, I did scratch builds of the latest git version of PyQwt (the same version as used originally when filing this bug report), and the rpath issue
is no longer present in the latest rawhide rebuild:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3355479
However, it remains in the F-16 rebuild:
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3355481

What has changed between this and the last rawhide rebuild?
Can the same trick be used to fix the rebuild on F-16?

Comment 7 Rex Dieter 2011-09-17 21:32:11 UTC
The latest sip build in rawhide pretty much nukes all rpath'ing done, which may introduce other problems, so I wanted to test it a bit more before doing any < rawhide updates.

In the meantime, my short-term recommendation is still to use chrpath

Comment 8 Tadej Janež 2011-09-18 20:32:24 UTC
Ok, I rebuilt PyQwt on rawhide, which uses your modified sip.

For F-16, I added the chrpath work-around and pushed an update:
