Kirkstone: libclang package is empty

fwuehr95 opened this issue · 3 comments

Looking at the clang recipe in kirkstone branch FILES for the libclang package is set to the following:

FILES:libclang = "
${libdir}/libclang.so.${MAJOR_VER}
"
Unfortunately the llvm project has not changed the libclang version with the upgrade from 13 to 14, so there is a mismatch of the version naming of the resulting libclang (libclang.so.13) and the variable that shall be packaged which would equal to "libclang.so.14" (see: llvm/llvm-project#53684).
As far as I understand it, they didn´t change the version due to the fact that there were no ABI changes.

IMHO there are three options to resolve this:

  1. hardcode FILES:libclang to "${libdir}/libclang.so.13"
  2. add an additional variable additionally to "MAJOR_VER" such as like "ABI_VERSION" if there is no steady relationship between these two numbers anymore
  3. apply a patch to llvm-project-source at the file "CMakeLists.txt" of the libclang module and change the variable "CLANG_SONAME" to "14" instead of "13"

I think it will be fine to hardcode it for 14 recipe, we do not allow multiple clang installs so it should be fine. I think with 15 onwards these versions match MAJOR_VER so we are good on master and newer releases.

Hi @kraj, thanks for the feedback, I opened a PR to fix this: #881
