[Slackbuilds-users] Upcoming version of EFL build fails on 14.2

[Willy Sudiarto Raharjo]

> I've been meaning to push out an update to libraries/efl
> (Enlightenment Foundation Libraries, a.k.a. EFL) for some time, but
> I've been hung up on an odd build issue on 14.2.
> 
> If the previous version of this package is already installed on 14.2
> (efl-1.20.7), the build fails because a tool built as part
> of the process called `lt-edje_cc` loads a .so installed by efl-1.20.7
> into /usr/lib64 and crashes because
> 
>     undefined symbol: EINA_ERROR_FUTURE_CANCEL
> 
> The thing that puzzles me is that `ldd` reports that `lt-edje_cc`
> correctly locates many other EFL shared objects under /tmp/SBo instead
> of the system library path /usr/lib64.
> 
> The build succeeds on 14.2 if you first manually uninstall EFL.
> 
> Curiously, this error does not occur in -current.  I originally
> thought that the issue may have been due to a difference as regards
> libtool, but both -14.2 and -current use the same version of libtool
> "(GNU libtool) 2.4.6"
> 
> After many weeks of not making any headway, I'm ready to release this
> now with the caveat "you must uninstall your existing EFL package
> before updating", and hold faith that 15.0 will make the bugs go away.

> My question to the group is, is this an acceptable course of action?
> 
> If somebody more knowledgable than I would like to take a stab at it,
