cgsi-gsoap: Libraries are underlinked, missing -lgsoap

[Andreas Moog]

Imported from Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/733176:

Package: cgsi-gsoap
Version: 1.3.5-3
Severity: important

Hi there,

it appears to me the libraries in your package are underlinked. If you
take a look at the buildlog:

(from
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=cgsi-gsoap&arch=i386&ver=1.3.5-3&stamp=1385872772)

Changing the CGSI-gSOAP-library-linking.patch to include "-lgsoap" fixes
the underlinking issue.

Could this be included in one of the next uploads or am I missing
something here?

Thanks for your time!

In Ubuntu this causes FTBFS for example in gfal2, https://launchpadlibrarian.net/158081864/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-i386.gfal2_2.3.0-4_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

[Mattias Ellert (mattias-ellert-fysast)]

That the cgsi-gsoap libraries are not linked to the gsoap libraries and leave the gsoap symbols undefined is a deliberate design choice by the upstream developers.

The reason is that it is not known at the compile time of the cgsi-gsoap libraries which of the gsoap libraries (-lgsoap, -lgsoapck or -lgsoapssl) that will be used to resolve those symbols in the application that uses the libraries. By leaving the symbols undefined, the choice of gsoap library is postponed until the compile time of the application, when it is known.

The reason for the build failure of gfal2 is not due to underlinking of cgsi-gsoap. The problem is that the build is attempted using inconsistent dependencies with some of them built against libgsoap3 and others against libgsoap4.

According to the log, both versions are installed to satisfy the build dependencies:
Setting up libgsoap3:i386 (2.8.12-2) ...
Setting up libgsoap4:i386 (2.8.16-2) ...

The binnmus for the libgoap3 → libgsoap4 transition must be done in the proper dependency order in ubuntu the same way it was done in debian. With a consistent set of dependencies all linked to the same gsoap version the gfal2 build will succeed.

Thanks for your explanation, gfal2 is built now.
