posted a bug in the bug tracker few hours ago and it seems that there has been confusion with the post of Lucas Vieites. We are not the same person, but we have (almost) the same bug ! And the same system (Mandriva LE 2005)...

The binary is dynamically linked to the GTKmm libraries, which is different to how I used to do it.

Aaron, are you using the same specfile I gave you? Could you post it here? The *MM libraries really do need to be statically linked (including libsigc++).

Sure I can post it here. I may have screwed something up but I was pretty sure I only adjusted it to remove the paths that were specific to your system. For the sake of completeness, I have pasted below both the specfile I am using to build and the specfile you originally sent me in that order.

Try changing this line:

You will need to make sure you have .a files for each of those libraries. If you can get it up in the next couple of hours I can help test it again, otherwise I'll be off for a week. You can contact me at mike@...869... or on the autopackage forums/mailing list.

I'm making a new package right now. In the last email I sent you I was trying something like this, but I noticed it didn't make the package size any larger. Could that be because I didn't append version numbers to the library names in that line? How do I know when I need to do that?

OK, here's a useful bit of shell script I use:

function needed() { objdump -x $1 | grep NEEDED; }

Whack that in your ~/.bashrc or something, then you can find out what libraries a binary needs by running "needed `which .proxy.inkscape`", for instance. On my system this gives the following result:

Incidentally, it's curious that a proxy file is generated. Normally that's only done when there's a program with that name already in the PATH. But for me there wasn't. Hmm.

I don't have a .proxy.* file here.

Anyway. You can see here that the *mm libraries are dynamically linked. To statically link them, we firstly chop off the leading lib prefix, then drop the .so suffix and anything after that:

libgtkmm-2.4.so.1 -> gtkmm-2.4

We also need to make sure there's a .a file for everything we statically link:

[mike@...628... main]$ file /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.a /usr/lib/libgtkmm-2.4.a: current ar archive

So we can statically link this by putting in gtkmm-2.4

Excellent tutorial, thank you. I'm almost not confused anymore. So what this all means is that the gtkmm-dev package in Ubuntu doesn't include the *.a files. I guess I need to build that myself then (using apbuild?). That being the case I won't have this package up in the next few hours for you to test. What else do you do when you test the package?

Anything else I should know?

That's crap :( I checked with some guys in #ubuntu and they say the older gtkmm packages *did* ship the .a files, but libgtkmm-2.4-dev doesn't! Weird or what. Especially as the Debian library packaging guide says to ship them.

Yeah, for now I guess compiling GTKmm from the source will do the trick. I'll dig a bit and see if I can find out why Ubuntu is being messed up here.

I think I need another hint. I found that I was also missing libglibmm-2.4.a, so I built and installed that. But autopackage still doesn't link it in to my package. The rest of gtkmm is working properly now.
