bug#15471: "hardcode_directy=yes" on OpenBSD causes build DBus failure

[Chengwei Yang]

Hi List,

When I was trying to build dbus (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/dbus/dbus/)
master branch on OpenBSD 5.3, with GNU libtool 2.4.2 installed, I got
below failure. (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69801)

>From the above log, it says libtool was trying to link
/usr/local/lib/libdbus-1.so.10.2 rather than the one in local build
directory.

Since all the non-built-in libs installed with prefix /usr/local, so I
configured dbus with "CFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
LDFLAGS=-L/usr/local/lib", so that all the required headers/libs can
pass check when doing configure.


After did some investigations, I found that it's hardcod_direct=yes
cause the build failure and try to link to the old installed library
which hasn't the new introduced symbol.

$ sed -ne '5467,+4p' m4/libtool.m4
    openbsd* | bitrig*)
      if test -f /usr/libexec/ld.so; then
        _LT_TAGVAR(hardcode_direct, $1)=yes
            _LT_TAGVAR(hardcode_shlibpath_var, $1)=no
        _LT_TAGVAR(hardcode_direct_absolute, $1)=yes

Do you consider this is a bug?
