Description	Flags
remove Wrap.c, Wrap.h and WrapHelp.c from libX11	none
do not export XdmcpWrap	none
do not export Xdmcp functions in libX11	none

Description Alexander Gottwald 2004-08-27 07:10:25 UTC

in make Xnest and XWin (both include libX11 and libXdmcp)

../../exports/lib/libXdmcp.a(Wrap.o)(.text+0x0): In function `XdmcpWrap':
/mnt/d/ago/xorg-head/xc/.build/lib/Xdmcp/Wrap.c:56: multiple definition of
`_XdmcpWrap'
../../exports/lib/libX11.a(d000548.o)(.text+0x0): first defined here
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I don't know how to solve this without removing Wrap.c from libX11 and linking
it to libXdmcp

Comment 1 Egbert Eich 2004-08-27 09:34:02 UTC

Alexander, this may be Cygwin specific as noone else seems to see it.
Could you please look into this?

remove Wrap.c, Wrap.h and WrapHelp.c from libX11

removes Wrap.c, Wrap.h and WrapHelp.c from libX11. It links to libXdmcp
instead.
The change has effect on cygwin only but should work for other platforms too.

Comment 3 Kevin E. Martin 2004-08-29 12:20:06 UTC

The Wrap*.[ch] code is self contained, so I would rather it remain in both X11
and Xdmcp instead of creating another external dependency.

It seems that cygwin cannot deal with multiple references gracefully, so I don't
see a problem with making cygwin a special case as Alexander proposed in his fix.

Egbert, what do you think?

Comment 4 Keith Packard 2004-08-29 21:31:00 UTC

I'd rather not have libX11 depend on libXdmcp -- that causes binary
compatibility problems on any system which doesn't have dependency information
in shared libraries (vis the Xaw/Xp issues).

A simple solution would have libX11 #define the names around so that it didn't
conflict with libXdmcp.

Comment 5 Alexander Gottwald 2004-08-30 00:55:31 UTC

Should libX11 export XdmcpWrap? 

A simple solution is --exclude-symbols=XdmcpWrap for cygwin

Comment 6 Alexander Gottwald 2004-08-30 00:57:51 UTC

do not export XdmcpWrap

Comment 7 Alexander Gottwald 2004-08-30 01:11:24 UTC

Created attachment 777 [details] [review]
do not export Xdmcp functions in libX11

excludes XdmcpWrap and _XdmcpWrapperToOddParity from automatic export

Comment 8 Kevin E. Martin 2004-08-30 17:56:09 UTC

I think this is a good solution for cygwin.
If no one has any objections, I will go ahead and check it in tomorrow.

Comment 9 Kevin E. Martin 2004-08-31 18:04:40 UTC

No objections, so I checked in the patch.
Closing.
