Package: ggcov
Version: 0.6-5
Severity: important
As reported by the upstream author:
G'day,
I have a report from an Ubuntu user that he built ggcov from source
on Ubuntu Dapper and the resulting ggcov executable failed to start
(i.e. no window appeared) because libglade couldn't find any of the
callback symbols. We narrowed the problem down to the executable
being built without the -Wl,--export-dynamic flag.
So I downloaded ggcov_0.6-4_i386.deb and it looks like the ggcov
executable therein suffers from this problem also. With the
.deb's ggcov:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1358> nm ./usr/bin/ggcov | grep on_summary
nm: ./usr/bin/ggcov: no symbols
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1359> nm -D ./usr/bin/ggcov | grep on_summary
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 1360>
by contrast, with a ggcov out of an RPM built on FC3:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2024> nm usr/bin/ggcov | grep on_summary
nm: usr/bin/ggcov: no symbols
[EMAIL PROTECTED] 2025> nm -D usr/bin/ggcov | grep on_summary

080673f2 T on_summary_range_start_spin_changed
080674f6 T on_summary_range_view_clicked

Note the extra symbols.
So, there's a problem which needs fixing. What I'm wondering is whether
ggcov is the only program thus affected. It seems that when I run the
configure script on Fedora or SUSE I get -Wl,--export-dynamic indirectly
from gmodule's pkgconfig when I use the autoconf macro
PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GGCOV_GUI, libglade-2.0 >= 2.0.0 libgnomeui-2.0 >=
2.0.0,
[gtk2=yes],[gtk2=no])
but for some reason this doesn't happen on Debian. Is this a generic
Debian bug? Do I need to do something special in configure.in to make
it work on Debian?
Greg.
