Description of problem: In the original design described here, google-glog can accept command-line arguments if gflags is installed: http://google-glog.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/doc/glog.html However, this is determined at build time. After installing both glog and gflags, I built and ran a test program, and gave it the option "--logtostderr", but it was not recognized. The gflags package is not a dependency of the glog package, so I believe glog wasn't compiled to use gflags when the package was built. To reach its full potential available in the source code, the glog package should be built with gflags present and with a dependency on gflags. What I said should also apply to the devel packages. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glog 0.3.0 glog-devel 0.3.0 How reproducible: There is a test program exercising both gflags and glog. Compile the source code, run the resulting executable with requisite flag, and get unsatisfactory result. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make a file test.cpp like this: #include <gflags/gflags.h> #include <glog/logging.h> int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { google::ParseCommandLineFlags(&argc, &argv, true); google::InitGoogleLogging(argv[0]); LOG(INFO) << "Test"; return 0; } 2. build it using "g++ test.cpp -lglog -lgflags" 3. Run it with ./a.out --logtostderr 4. Get "ERROR: unknown command line flag 'logtostderr'". If glog were built with gflag support, then the option would have been recognized. Expected results: The program should print "Test" to stderr. Additional info: I was running Fedora 15 and building with G++ 4.6, if it makes any difference.
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
