Description of problem: pkg-config (.pc) files are broken Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mpich2-devel-1.4.1p1-7.fc17.1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install mpich2-devel 2. pkg-config --libs mpich2-c Actual results: Duplicate definition of variable 'plib' in '/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/mpich2-c.pc' Expected results: -Wl,-z,noexecstack -L/usr/lib64/mpich2/lib -lmpich -lopa -lmpl Additional info: Also if expand the probably wrongly expanded conditional in the mpich2-c.pc file by hand, the output is still wrong: -Wl,-z,noexecstack -L/usr/lib64/mpich2/lib -l -lmpich If removed the extra -l and tried to compile some mpich2 code, it still doesn't work: /bin/ld: warning: libopa.so.1, needed by /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /bin/ld: warning: libmpl.so.1, needed by /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trfree' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_env2str' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trlevel' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trvalid' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trmalloc' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trspace' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_env2range' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trcalloc' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_env2int' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trdump' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_env2bool' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trstrdup' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trrealloc' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_TrSetMaxMem' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trinit' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trDebugLevel' /usr/lib64/mpich2/lib/libmpich.so: undefined reference to `MPL_trid' collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status The following line seems to work: -Wl,-z,noexecstack -L/usr/lib64/mpich2/lib -lmpich -lopa -lmpl
All mpich-*.pc seems to be affected.
Created attachment 610602 [details] Patch that should correct mpich pkgconfig files I manually did the changes to the .pc files that are done by the patch, and it fixed where pkg-config --list-all functions as intended. However, I could not fully regenerate the configure script from the configure.in as patched because of missing m4 files. It should go a long way towards making a short term fix until the next mpich2 point release is made. Patch may be released under the same license as used for the files modified.
F19 and rawhide version mpich2-1.5-3 seem unaffected.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '18'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
