Hi all,

not sure if this is the correct fedora mailing list or not to bring this up on...

I came across a build error on X64, in F-11

I have been seeing this exact bug report my other distso users that have been building my
package on other distro x64 platforms, and so far I do not know what the solution might be.

When i do a libtool build on a library, I am seeing the following:

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link gcc  -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2
- -fexceptions -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -m64 -mtune=generic
- -Wno-pointer-sign -funsigned-char -shared -fpic -fPIC  -o libgyachi.so gytreeview.o
gy_config.o gyachi_lib.o parsecfg.o theme_support.o sound_plugin.o plugins.o -lgtk-x11-2.0
- -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0 -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo
- -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0   -lltdl
- -lX11  -lpthread
libtool: link: gcc -O2 -g -pipe -Wall -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions

- -funsigned-char -fpic -fPIC -o libgyachi.so gytreeview.o gy_config.o gyachi_lib.o
parsecfg.o theme_support.o sound_plugin.o plugins.o  -lgtk-x11-2.0 -lgdk-x11-2.0 -latk-1.0
- -lgio-2.0 -lpangoft2-1.0 -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lcairo -lpango-1.0 -lfreetype
- -lfontconfig -lgobject-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -lltdl -lX11 -lpthread
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.3.2/../../../../lib64/crt1.o: In function `_start':
(.text+0x20): undefined reference to `main'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

ld is not treating this as a shared library, rather it is treating this as a main program.

Anyone else see this ?

any ideas as to what i'm doing wrong, or what I might do to fix this ?

For what it's worth, this exact package, and this exact libtool line builds correctly on
F-10 and ALL other earlier revs (F-9, F-8, F-7, F-6, etc. etc...) on X64 (and other
platforms...)

If this is not the right mailing list to bring this up on, please point me at a more
proper list!

 :)

All the best,

- -Greg
