[Userland-team] [OpenIndiana Distribution - Bug #2729] oi-151.1.4 problems with SFEbuild and SFEencumbered

[illumos project]

Issue #2729 has been updated by Th. Wagner.


At the time oi-sfe was done there was no fresh gcc 4.x available in OI, so the gcc 4.6 used in the oi-sfe variant was decided to put the runtime into /usr/lib. This is not the SFE default location which is instead a very "private" one in /usr/gcc/<major.minor>/lib . The location /usr/lib of oi-sfe led to the need for a workaround to run VirtualBox on OI if /usr/lib/<gccruntimelibs> libs where present on an OI system (the underlaying root case for that problem is different and not related to this conflicting file path form this bug)

As Milan Jurik stated, the immediate fix on the SFE side will be to rebuild oi-sfe packages with the SFE default configuration to always use correct runtime libs from the private directory /usr/gcc/4.6/lib/ .

OI should enable install for multiple gcc versions by using LINK_LIBGCC_SPEC and placing gcc runtime libraries into private directories /usr/gcc/<major.minor>/lib only. That avoids as well the VirtualBox library effect described elsewhere.
SFE packages in oi-sfe should build own gcc and runtime libraries with the LINK_LIBGCC_SPEC features enabled and build all packages using own gcc with one exception.
oi-sfe programs should always load runtime libs first from the directory /usr/gcc/<major.minor>/lib/ .
oi-sfe packages should use the distro provided gcc in case it uses LINK_LIBGCC_SPEC with the /usr/gcc/<major.minor>/lib/ layout and if it is available from OI in the *same* version then SFE would provide its own gcc variant.

Hi,

After upgrading to oi-151.1.4 I am unable to add Stellarium and VLC from the SFEbuild and SFEencumbered repositories. The installation fails due to incompatible links issue, details provided below. There is a conflict between the GCC 3.4.5 included as part of the OpenIndiana build and the SFE builds which use GCC 4.6. Should OpenIndiana Development be shipped with GCC 4.6?
