Hello *, I'm the Debian maintainer of pugs and parrot and I experience problems with the latest pugs when being linked to parrot. I get linker errors because of Parrot_set_config_hash being not defined.
That's right, as we currently link the *_config.o object files into the executables and not into libparrot. So what I'd like to do is getting set_config_hash into libparrot as installing extra object files for the config so other applications can embed parrot obviously sucks. So how can we do that? a) We could relink libparrot when being installed. I don't think this is a good solution as this is pretty hacky and may cause lots of problems. b) We could introduce another blib/lib directory (blib/installable_lib?) It would contain libparrot linked against installable_config.o and will be the libparrot that'll get installed during make install instead of blib/lib/*. This is a better solution than a), IMHO, but still doesn't feel "clean". c) Merge parrot_config and installable_config The only difference between those two seems to be the prefix setting. This is set to $PWD for parrot_config and isn't set for installable_config. Why is that needed? Does anything use it? I'd suggest to somehow merge the differences between those two config files and link it into libparrot. This would depend on linking $(MINIPARROT) statically against $(O_FILES) and src/null_config.o, which was planed anyway. This is my currently prefered solution. d) Any other ideas? What do you think about the above? How could we solve the issue? -Flo -- BOFH excuse #345: Having to manually track the satellite.
