fontconfig et al.

I don't have a modern AIX system at hand, so where are 32bit and 64bit
libraries stored?


It would appear they are stored in the same directories (/lib, /usr/lib,
/usr/pkg/lib). Not sure I understand the question.

Sane ELF systems silently skip objects of the wrong
type, making this easier.


I guess I'm dealing with an not-so-sane XCOFF system :)

I know that AIX's ld lets us embed library paths into the loader, but in
the past it's caused objects to look in the buildlink-time directory for
the package rather than the normal library locations.

I will try to build with LDFLAGS=-blibpath:/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
and see what happens...

No Luck.

I have tried setting LDFLAGS with...

1)  -blibpath:/usr/pkg/lib:/usr/lib:/lib
2)  -bnolibpath -L /usr/pkg/lib
3)  -bsvr4 -L/usr/pkg/lib
4)  -bsvr4

The first (1) is supposed to explicitly put the paths in the header.
(2) is supposed to not write the header, putting only in the contents of LIBPATH (which I set appropriately)
(3) is supposed to put the `-L' arguments in the path
(4) is supposed to use any `-L' or `-R' arguments for the path.

None of these work. I'm not sure if pkgsrc is overriding these options. But it simply isn't working.

In every case the header looks like this...
# dump -X64 -H /usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.so

/usr/pkg/lib/libfontconfig.so:

                        ***Loader Section***

5                                    libc.a              shr_64.o


My only workaround now is to set LIBPATH at runtime, which is awful!
