Hello, Can anyone explain me why it is impossible to upgrade /devel/glib2/ via ports without complettly removing it first?
If you make a normal "make update" it fails during compilation, but if you pkg_del the current version, and try to build it, it compiles. ...snip... /usr/local/bin/libtool --tag=CC --mode=link cc -O2 -pipe -Wall -L/usr/local/lib -o gtester gtester.o libglib-2.0.la -lintl -liconv cc -O2 -pipe -Wall -o .libs/gtester gtester.o -L/usr/local/lib -L./.libs -lglib-2.0 -lpcre -lintl -liconv -Wl,-rpath,/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1400.3: warning: vsprintf() is often misused, please use vsnprintf() /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1400.3: warning: strcpy() is almost always misused, please use strlcpy() /usr/local/lib/libglib-2.0.so.1400.3: warning: strcat() is almost always misused, please use strlcat() gtester.o(.text+0x56c): In function `child_report_cb': : undefined reference to `g_test_log_buffer_push' gtester.o(.text+0x574): In function `child_report_cb': : undefined reference to `g_test_log_buffer_pop' gtester.o(.text+0x592): In function `child_report_cb': : undefined reference to `g_test_log_msg_free' gtester.o(.text+0x8f1): In function `launch_test_binary': : undefined reference to `g_test_log_buffer_new' gtester.o(.text+0x9fe): In function `launch_test_binary': : undefined reference to `g_test_log_buffer_free' gtester.o(.text+0x14ff): In function `fixture_setup': : undefined reference to `g_assertion_message_cmpnum' gtester.o(.text+0x152e): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_test_message' gtester.o(.text+0x153a): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_test_bug_base' gtester.o(.text+0x1546): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_test_bug' gtester.o(.text+0x1552): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_test_bug_base' gtester.o(.text+0x15b1): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_assertion_message_cmpnum' gtester.o(.text+0x1626): In function `fixture_teardown': : undefined reference to `g_assertion_message_cmpnum' gtester.o(.text+0x1645): In function `main_selftest': : undefined reference to `g_test_init' gtester.o(.text+0x1664): In function `main_selftest': : undefined reference to `g_test_add_vtable' gtester.o(.text+0x166c): In function `main_selftest': : undefined reference to `g_test_run' gtester.o(.text+0x1565): In function `fixture_test': : undefined reference to `g_test_bug' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status gmake[4]: *** [gtester] Error 1 ...snip... My problem is that to remove glib2, I also have to remove all the packages that depend on it. So, can anyone tell me why does this happen? Thanks
