gthumb-2.8.1-as-needed.patch (1.18 KB, patch)

Description Gilles Dartiguelongue 2007-02-11 11:08:45 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Compiling gthumb with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" currently results on libphotoimporter crashing gthumb. 

A similar bug is described at :
http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-users-pl/2006-November/063429.html

Can't read the language but at least the error and the fix are similar although the fix is not quite right.

Steps to reproduce:
1. compile gthumb with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed"
2. launch gthumb and try to import photos from camera



Actual results:
gthumb crashes saying libphotoimporter cannot resolve some symbols

Expected results:
gthumb doesn't crash

Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
will attach the patch used by gentoo

this is the fix used on gentoo, it is actually present since 2.6.9 it seems.
Comment 2 Paolo Bacchilega 2007-02-11 19:03:39 UTC 
I tried to compile the current development version (svn trunk) with LDFLAGS="-Wl,--as-needed" and it did'nt crash, so I think it's fixed now.
Comment 3 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2007-02-11 20:38:14 UTC 
it's indeed fixed in svn head, sorry for the noise
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue 2007-02-11 20:39:25 UTC 
gaaah, forgot to ask if you plan to release a fixed version of 2.8 series ?
Comment 5 Paolo Bacchilega 2007-02-12 10:42:12 UTC 
yes
