[Pkg-scicomp-devel] Bug#475323: netgen: Undefined symbols in libraries

[Adam C Powell IV]

Package: libnetgen-dev
Version: 4.4-12

Hi,

There are a couple of missing symbols in netgen while building Salomé:

/usr/lib/libnetgen_interface.so: undefined reference to `netgen::vssolution'
/usr/lib/libnetgen_interface.so: undefined reference to `netgen::tcl_interp'
/usr/lib/libnetgen_visualization.so: undefined reference to `netgen::AddVisualizationScene(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, netgen::VisualScene*)'

These are all defined in ngtcltk/ngpkg.cpp which is unfortunately not
included in any of the libs.

I don't quite understand why this is a problem now; 4.4-9 did not have
this problem before February, but developed it sometime in March.
Perhaps the toolchain now checks the entire lib for dependencies,
instead of the symbols in use?

I'm investigating a patch, hope to have one by tomorrow.

Regards,
-Adam
