Description Rich Mattes 2013-01-27 14:57:06 UTC
Description of problem:
The new graphviz 2.30.0 package contains ABI changes even though the soname is the same.  The main problem I'm running into is that libgraph.so seems to have been completely removed from graphviz, but it's still present in libgvc.pc.  This means that anyone using libgvc.pc will see build failures, as ld will try linking to a shared object that doesn't exist.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
graphviz-2.30.0-2.fc19


How reproducible:
On rawhide:

file test.cpp:
#include <gvc.h>
#include <iostream>
int main (int argc, char *argv[]) {
        std::cout << "why, world?" << std::endl;
        return 0;
}


g++ `pkg-config --cflags --libs libgvc` -o test test.cpp

Alternately, try to rebuild the "fawkes" package in rawhide, which is currently failing because it's using libgvc.pc

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create simple program
2. Try linking using libs from libgvc.pc
3. Watch ld complain it can't find libgraph.
  
Actual results:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgraph

Expected results:
build success

Comment 1 Rich Mattes 2013-02-24 00:10:13 UTC
Still an issue in graphviz 2.30.1.

I looked at the build logs (http://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/8625/4988625/build.log) and saw the following lines in the config summary:

graphviz-2.30.1 will be compiled with the following:
options:
  graph:         No (disabled deprecated)

If libgraph is no longer being built, then -lgraph should be removed from lib/gvc/libgvc.pc.in.  libgvc doesn't seem to link against libgraph, ldd shows:

 ldd libgvc.so.6
	linux-vdso.so.1 =>  (0x00007fff26db5000)
	libltdl.so.7 => /lib64/libltdl.so.7 (0x00007f4fbe476000)

Comment 2 Haïkel Guémar 2013-03-10 09:08:34 UTC
affects also libgda

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-04-03 15:18:23 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)
