[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #54235] problems building Octave on Solaris

[Michele]

Follow-up Comment #70, bug #54235 (project octave):

"Are they the same library? Are they different versions of libstdc++?"

No and yes.

"Why are multiple copies of this library installed in different directories?"

My best guess is that Solaris 10 is delivered with a libstdc++ in /opt/sfw/. 
This is a brand new install off the Solaris 10U11 DVD.  The only changes I
made was adding Octave dependencies as I went down the list.  The most
convenient place to get these is Opencsw so that's what I did.  I installed
csw's libstd++ not knowing that there was already one there.

"What do those directories mean?"

I'm not sure I understand.

"WHy should I choose to link against one or the other? "

csw is newer than sfw.  It's not clear though if you want the newer one or the
older one.


"Maybe most importantly, I see that /usr/sfw/lib only shows up in your
config.log in the context of the FreeType library.  Why is that?"

That's a good question.

"Is this correct? "

Probably not.

"Is this a bug in the FreeType packaging?"

Possibly, though the csw packages usually play well together.

"Is FreeType installed differently from all of the other OpenCSW packages on
your system?"

No.

" if you can fix the FreeType -I and -L options in the build, then this
/usr/sfw vs /opt/csw error may resolve itself."

OK, how do I do that?

I don't understand why it's even looking in /opt/sfw in the first place.  None
of my flags include that.
