Re: Build Error with garnome 2-16

Markus,

Let's see what we have.

The linker error states:

        Invalid version tag `EXPORTED'. Only anonymous version tag is
        allowed in executable. 


There is a linker directive in the build command:

   -Wl,--version-script -Wl,./../version-script

So... We need to understand two things:
(1) what does the linker directive do?
(2) what does the error mean?

Let's look at (1):

[from 'info ld']

`--version-script=VERSION-SCRIPTFILE'
     Specify the name of a version script to the linker.  This is
     typically used when creating shared libraries to specify
     additional information about the version hierarchy for the library
     being created.  This option is only meaningful on ELF platforms
     which support shared libraries.  *Note VERSION::.

The description of the structure of a version script file is found in
the "VERSION Command" section of the ld info page, which you should
read.

The xchat source contains the file, src/version-script,

EXPORTED {
        global:
                xchat_hook_command;
                xchat_hook_server;
                xchat_hook_print;
                xchat_hook_timer;
                xchat_hook_fd;
                xchat_unhook;
                xchat_print;
                xchat_printf;
                xchat_command;
                xchat_commandf;
                xchat_nickcmp;
                xchat_set_context;
                xchat_find_context;
                xchat_get_context;
                xchat_get_info;
                xchat_get_prefs;
                xchat_list_get;
                xchat_list_free;
                xchat_list_fields;
                xchat_list_next;
                xchat_list_str;
                xchat_list_int;
                xchat_plugingui_add;
                xchat_plugingui_remove;
                xchat_emit_print;
                xchat_list_time;
                xchat_gettext;
                xchat_send_modes;
                xchat_strip;
                xchat_free;
        local: *;
};


I see that that script is "labeled" with the word EXPORTED, which is
what the Suse implementation of the GNU linker is complaining about. The
error states that 

   "Only anonymous version tag is allowed in executable."

So... The "label" is the problem.

Hmmm... Must be a Suse-related issue since I do not have this problem on
a Fedora-based system.  You might poke the Suse folks and ask.


What to do...

(1) cd to work/main.d/xchat-2.6.8/src
(2) cp version-script version-script-
(3) edit version-script
    remove the "EXPORTED" label

(4) cd to fifth-toe/xchat
(5) make
