Hello list members,
I use Xcode 3.1.4 on Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 PPC, and I am trying to
build pango-1.36.3 and gdk-pixbuf-2.30.7 as dynamic libraries. These
libraries are part of the dependencies I am putting together so that I
might build my own copy of the GIMP. I have built my own GIMP in the
past and have had no problems compiling Pango or GDK-Pixbuf. However,
this time, the builds fail when trying to link the binary tools pango-
querymodules and gdk-pixbuf-csource.
When each of those two executables are linking, I get an error
telling me that I have some undefined symbols. These symbols should be
in the copies of libpango-1.0.dylib and libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.dylib that
were just built. When I ran 'otool -Tv' on these libraries, I find
that the table of contents is empty for both of them. For example like
this:
libpango-1.0.dylib:
Table of contents (0 entries)
module name symbol name
When I ran 'otool -tv' on them to disassemble the text section I find
that the symbols seem to be there, but with an empty table of contents
the library cannot be linked against.
I was able to compile both libraries when linking statically, but I
do not want to use these builds. This is because dynamic linking is
the default for both libraries, and also the OSX "way" is to use
dynamic libraries. Furthermore, I don't know that the static builds
will even work when building GTK+.
I am on a newer installation of OSX 10.5.8 than when I built Pango
and GDK-Pixbuf earlier, so something must be awry in my build system.
I tried installing a slightly older version of GNU libtool in case
that was the problem, but got the same build error. After hours of
searching on Google I found only one hit at Apple Discussions which
was close to my problem. However, the suggested fix did not help in my
case.
This is really puzzling me since in the last month alone I have
compiled more than a dozen other libraries using the same autotools
build system, and none of those builds had any problems. Can anybody
give me some advice as to where to look to fix this problem? Thank you
for reading my kind of long post.
