xorg-liblbxutil can't build universal

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

I'm on Mac OS X 10.4.11 Intel with Xcode 2.5 and MacPorts 1.7.0 and cannot build xorg-liblbxutil universal (i386 ppc). It fails with:

ld: common symbols not allowed with MH_DYLIB output format with the -multi_module option

See the attached log.

Here on 10.5:

~/src/macports-trunk/dports/x11/xorg-liblbxutil $ file /opt/local/lib/liblbxutil.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/liblbxutil.dylib: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures
/opt/local/lib/liblbxutil.dylib (for architecture ppc7400):	Mach-O dynamically linked shared library ppc
/opt/local/lib/liblbxutil.dylib (for architecture i386):	Mach-O dynamically linked shared library i386

Perhaps a Tiger-specific problem?

Searching Google, I see a suggestion to use -fno-common to fix this.

I see these lines in the output:

checking for /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 option to produce PIC... -fno-common
checking if /usr/bin/gcc-4.0 PIC flag -fno-common works... no

checking for /usr/bin/g++-4.0 option to produce PIC... -fno-common
checking if /usr/bin/g++-4.0 PIC flag -fno-common works... yes

But -fno-common isn't actually used to compile, perhaps causing the problem.

Hmm... can you try:

use_autoreconf yes autoreconf.args -fvi

Maybe an updated/smarter libtool will fix this...

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Replying to jeremyhu@…:

use_autoreconf yes autoreconf.args -fvi

Yes, that works! Your favorite incantation saves the day yet again :)
