Patch

Description of problem:

When the shared libraries are created, the LDFLAGS are not passed. The shared libraries end up containing symbols of libraries against which they are not linked. Tentative patch attached. Patch is somewhat hacky, but the main goal was to have the LDFLAGS after the source files when producing the shared libraries.

Any news here?

Comment 5 Sandro Mani 2014-07-03 07:23:52 UTC
See [1]: the package should get orphaned hopefully in the coming days. As soon as that is the case, I'll take over scotch and apply the patch, so that we can move forward.

Comment 6 laurence.mcglashan 2014-07-03 09:15:21 UTC
I'm not a maintainer, so unfortunately I cannot help you update the package.

Have you got in touch with the owner of scotch about this issue, or is this specific to changes made to the Makefiles in the fedora rpm patches?

Your patch defines DYNLDFLAGS, but I can't find where that is used in the scotch Makefiles.

Comment 7 Sandro Mani 2014-07-03 09:22:44 UTC
In the proposed patch, I add a scotch_ldflags.patch which adds the DYNLDFLAGS to the calls which create the shared libraries, i.e. 

-					$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $(@) $(?)
+					$(AR) $(ARFLAGS) $(@) $(?) $(DYNLDFLAGS)

Note that $(AR) here is misleading, since are is actually gcc when compiling a shared library, i.e. look at scotch-Makefile.shared.inc.in:
[...]
AR		= gcc
[...]


So the issue is sort of between fedora and upstream. upstream provides handwritten, not terribly flexible makefiles, and the fedora packages hack those makefiles to make it produce a shared library.

Comment 8 laurence.mcglashan 2014-07-03 09:50:05 UTC
Ok I remember that issue.

Other things to check while you're at it:

- You may need to update the Requires fields in the .spec file.
- Scotch 6.0 should have removed the dependency of scotch on the mpi libraries. I think the .spec file was updated last year but worth checking.
