[Sablevm-developer] actual build failure not catched (sablevm-nativelib build dep on sablevm-nativelib)

[Grzegorz P. <gr...@se...>]

Hi!

I reported previously, that from sablevm-nativelib source some of the
libs are not build sometimes. So I made two builds - one w/o
old sablevm-native installed, one - with. And compared build
outputs. Here's what I found:

--- ./native-installed.out      2002-09-08 22:17:47.000000000 +0200
+++ ./native-uninstalled.out    2002-09-09 00:33:47.000000000 +0200

Of course libclasspath is part of just built sablevm-nativelib and
in _no case_ should be looked for in /usr/lib !

So I suggest that:
1. Such errors should be catched as errors and not ignored - should stop
compilation
2. Some neat trick like LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to directory w/ just builded
libclasspath should be used (I'll try it in a minute) (btw. is it
portable outside Linux/glibc? no I think)
Maybe -L parameter usage would be wiser? Surely.

Current situtation is that I need to have sablevm-nativelib installed 
to be able build new sablevm-nativelib which is unnacceptable.

Tell me what you think.

PS: The problem with sablevm-n.e.w looking for libs in o.l.d versions
if those o.l.d versions were installed during the build - seems to be
on similar ground. It seem that sablevm checks in /usr/lib,
/usr/lib/sablevm for versions first, instead of own build directories.
ATM I need to build conflict w/ sablevm and build depend on
libsablevm-native with specified version that coresponds to sablevm
version.
