Description Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 14:44:04 UTC

libltdl.so.3()(64bit) is needed by (installed) libgphoto2-2.1.99.0head-10.x86_64

Please s/lt_dlopen/dlopen/

Comment 1 Marcus Meissner 2006-02-03 15:08:05 UTC

excuse me, but why?

Comment 2 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 15:11:00 UTC

We do not want to install libtool by default.

Comment 3 Marcus Meissner 2006-02-03 15:42:40 UTC

Thorsten just does not want to split libtool at this stage, he
has no problems with it being in minimal.

I can do it, but I have to throw in some opendirs/readdirs etc.


libgphoto2 also threw out the old way to do it and standardized on libtool... because libltdl is the way to do it.

I will not be able to push this upstream.

Comment 4 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 15:50:16 UTC

I would like to get rid of it if possible...

opendirs/readdirs?  That sounds scary...

Rudi, Thorsten, what do you propose?

Comment 5 Marcus Meissner 2006-02-03 15:52:34 UTC

it loads the camera and the port drivers this way:

        lt_dlinit ();
        lt_dladdsearchdir (dir);
        ret = lt_dlforeachfile (dir, foreach_func, flist);
        lt_dlexit ();

this loads all /usr/lib/libgphoto2/2.1.99/*.la (-> .so) files.

I can of course replace it with traditional UNIX methods, if really wanted.

Comment 6 Andreas Jaeger 2006-02-03 19:27:50 UTC

Let's make it an enhancement for now and discuss later again.
