Description
on Alpine Linux I got this error:
/usr/bin/Thunar: symbol 'apr_uuid_parse': can't resolve symbol
(thunar:2582): thunarx-WARNING **: Failed to load plugin `thunar-vcs-plugin.so': unknown dl-error
nm -D | grep apr shows that plugin uses apr symbols: U apr_ctime U apr_initialize U apr_pool_destroy U apr_terminate
readelf -d shows that libapr is not linked: 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libsvn_client-1.so.0] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libsvn_wc-1.so.0] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libsvn_fs-1.so.0] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libsvn_subr-1.so.0] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libpthread.so.0.9.32] 0x0000000000000001 (NEEDED) Shared library: [libc.so.0.9.32] 0x000000000000000e (SONAME) Library soname: [thunar-vcs-plugin.so]
I suspect it works on glibc due to the indirect linking via the libsvn_* libs, but it does not work with uClibc.
looking at the Makefile.am shows that it actually tries to do the correct thing:
if HAVE_SUBVERSION
thunar_vcs_plugin_la_LDFLAGS +=
$(APR_LDFLAGS)
endif
However APR_LDFLAS is wrong. It appears that the macros uses APR_LIBS. Replacing APR_LDFLAGS with APR_LIBS solves it.
