Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 5/7] build/pkg-config: output driver libs first for static build
Date: Tue, 30 Jun 2020 15:14:31 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200630141433.818517-6-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200630141433.818517-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com>

When calling pkg-config --static --libs, pkg-config will always output the
regular libs first, and then the extra libs from libraries.private field,
since the assumption is that those are additional dependencies for building
statically that the .a files depend upon.

However, for DPDK, we only link the driver files for static builds, and
those need to come *before* the regular libraries. To get this result, we
need two pkgconfig files for DPDK, one for the shared libs, and a second
for the static libs and drivers, which depends upon the first. Using a
dependency means that the shared libs are printed only after the
libraries.private field rather than before.

Without this patch, the linking works in DPDK because in all cases we
specify the libraries after the drivers in the Libs.private line, ensuring
that the references to the libs from the drivers can be resolved. The
current output is therefore of the form, "(shared)libs, drivers,
(static)libs", while after this patch the output is, "drivers,
(static)libs, (shared)libs". The former case will not work if we use the
--whole-archive flag on the static libs as it will lead to duplicate
definitions due to some references having been previously resolved from the
shared libraries. By ensuring the shared libraries come last in the link
link, this issue does not occur, as duplicate references when linking the
shared libs will be ignored.
