vala: does not compile

[flyn-org]

Maintainer: No maintainer listed in Makefile Environment: x86_64 master Description:

Building the Vala package fails for me with the following errors. I am building on Fedora 38, and this is a host package, so I wonder if the problem stems from the version of dependencies I have installed on my computer.

[neheb]

This seems to require pcre2/host

[flyn-org]

I tried HOST_BUILD_DEPENDS:=glib2/host pcre2-8/host and HOST_BUILD_DEPENDS:=glib2/host pcre2/host, but neither seemed to help. I also noticed Vala requires glib2, and glib2 already requires pcre2/host.

[neheb]

I'll debug this when I get back from my trip.

Quite weird that it's not working though. My guess is OS paths are leaking into the build.

[flyn-org]

I thought the OS paths might be the issue too, but I uninstalled my OS-level pcre2-devel and pcre-devel packages. I must be overlooking something. I would appreciate very much if you took a look when you are able.

[neheb]

So those linking errors happen when linking is attempted with a shared library. But pcre2/host is static only. No idea why shared linking is attempted.

[flyn-org]

I am starting to think this is an issue of argument ordering. With static libraries, -lx must come after the object that requires -lx. This is not the case for dynamic libraries. My guess is that libpcre2 is required by one of the .a files, which appear last in the command-line arguments.

[flyn-org]

I think I figured this out. See https://github.com/openwrt/packages/issues/21359.

[neheb]

@flyn-org this is happening again

[esaaprillia]

@neheb

when compiling glib2 it looks like pcre2 is created again.

This should not happen if pcre2 is already built.

adding pcre2 dependency in glib2 is pointless in my opinion

This is intentional.

[neheb]

Is this still a problem?
