Re: [PATCH] Add native ruby binding to Subversion distribution

From: Yoshiki Hayashi <yoshiki_at_xemacs.org>
Date: 2001-10-29 15:41:17 CET

Here's the new version of build system patch. The basic
idea is the same as my previous patch so the explanation is
included mostly as is. Please read bindings/ruby/native as
bindings/ruby.

I asked about LDFLAG kludge to Greg Stein on IRC but today
IRC server is flaky and couldn't ask the question I wanted
to ask. This patch adds -lpthread to LDFLAG if APR is
compiled with pthread. The problem is, if you load Svn.so
linked without -lpthread option, Ruby interpreter cannot
find libpthread and stop execution saying missing symbol or
something.

Greg said -lpthread should be picked up by APR and I thought
so but it is not. The problem is the way APR checks CFLAGS
to gcc and LDFLAGS. First, APR tries to add one of
following CFLAGS will be necessary to build pthread support.
-kthread -pthread -pthreads -mthreads -Kthread -threads -mt

Second, it tries to add -lpthread -lpthreads -lc_r to
LDFLAGS if first step failed.

Here's how it works on my system (Debian unstable):

1. APR picks up -pthread as CFLAGS. It allows you to
   compile and link pthread programs.

2. If I enable second check regardless of the result of
   first check, -lpthread will not be added to LDFLAGS
   because -pthread CFLAGS is all you need.

3. If I reverse the order of CFLAGS and LDFLAGS checking,
   APR correctly picks up -lpthread and Ruby binding are
   happy without LDFLAGS kludge.

It looks like I should post patch to dev@apr to do #3. I
don't know if it will bring any portability problem but APR
people can probably figure it out. Anyway, I must go now.
The time of the last train is approaching. ;-)
