Description Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-01-18 13:04:28 UTC
Description of problem:
VPI support on iverilog is broken. Because the *.a files are excluded on the iverilog.spec file

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.9.20081118-1.fc10

How reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1.follow the example on http://iverilog.wikia.com/wiki/Using_VPI
2.
3.
  
Actual results:
iverilog-vpi hello_vpi.c                                           
Compiling hello_vpi.c...                                                                        
Making hello_vpi.vpi from  hello_vpi.o...                                                       
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lveriuser                                                             
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status  

Solution: include the *.a files on the -devel package

Comment 1 Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-01-18 13:17:09 UTC
convert the static lib into dynamic. See how I did for systemc:

------------------------------------------------------
# strip debug info, or strip everything
# turn static library into dynamic
ar -x src/libsystemc.a
gcc %{optflags} -shared *.o -o libsystemc.so

# rpmlint W: executable-stack
execstack -c libsystemc.so

HI Chitelesh,


  I will fix it today, no problem.


Chitelesh, i just remind you that you also have 
CVS rights over the package, when i subbmited the 
package i added you too as admin.

Thanks Cristian,
I know, however it is my task to fill a bug report first.

BTW iverilog has failed mass rebuild on rawhide too.

Comment 6 Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-03-24 21:55:22 UTC
The 0.9.1 builds just fine on F-11 rawhide.

I'm currently doing a couple of tests before releases it to updates-testing.

Comment 7 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 10:46:59 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 8 João Felipe Santos 2009-07-12 23:46:38 UTC
This is also present under Fedora 10 iverilog-devel package. Is there a chance it will be updated before F10 reaches EOL? 

Thanks!

Comment 9 Chitlesh GOORAH 2009-07-13 02:50:28 UTC
Hello Joao,

I have created another scratch build. Can you try it please and give me some feedbacks ? 

When I get back home, I'll seriously look at it and push it to the fedora repositories.

https://koji.fedoraproject.org/scratch/chitlesh/task_1470468/

I am dropping the -devel subpackage.

Comment 10 João Felipe Santos 2009-07-13 12:10:14 UTC
Hello Chitlesh,

the packages you created are working, including VPI support. Thanks for your effort!
