Description:

When compiling gnome-3.14 branch of https://github.com/codito/gnome-shell-pomodoro , the following happens:


make[3]: Entering directory '/tmp/yaourt-tmp-m/aur-gnome-shell-pomodoro-git/src/gnome-shell-pomodoro-git/src'
VALAC gnome_pomodoro_vala.stamp
CC gnome_pomodoro-main.o
CC gnome_pomodoro-resources.o
CCLD gnome-pomodoro
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.1/../../../../lib/libgtk-3.so: undefined reference to symbol 'gdk_keyval_from_name'
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.9.1/../../../../lib/libgdk-3.so: error adding symbols: DSO missing from command line
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:469: recipe for target 'gnome-pomodoro' failed
make[3]: *** [gnome-pomodoro] Error 1


So, the symbol—`gdk_keyval_from_name`—is present in header file, but not in libgtk-3.so.

Author's comment: https://github.com/codito/gnome-shell-pomodoro/issues/159#issuecomment-59517239

Using up-to-date Arch (gtk3 3.14.3-2).

Steps to reproduce:

Try to compile https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gnome-shell-pomodoro-git/ → especially after adding `#branch=gnome-3.14` to the git URL in the `source` array.
This task depends upon

I don't know how to fix this, but nothing looks wrong with gtk3 here.
gdk_keyval_from_name is in libgdk-3.so.0, which is marked as NEEDED by libgtk-3.so.0, so libgtk-3.so.0 is not underlinked.

On Archlinux and Ubuntu the default LDFLAGS contain -as-needed. This causes problems with gnome-shell-pomodoro:

libtool: link: gcc -march=x86-64 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector-strong --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common -Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -o gnome-pomodoro gnome_pomodoro-main.o gnome_pomodoro-resources.o -pthread -pthread -lgthread-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -lgnome-desktop-3 -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -ldbus-glib-1 -ldbus-1 -lgom-1.0 -lsqlite3 -lupower-glib /usr/lib/libcanberra.so -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -ltdb -lltdl -lgstreamer-1.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 ../lib/.libs/libgnome-pomodoro.a -lm -pthread

as-needed discards libgdk-3, causing the undefined symbols. Unsetting LDFLAGS in PKGBUILD fixes the compile issue, but that looks more like a workaround to me.

In src/Makefile.am, try changing:

gnome_pomodoro_LDADD = \
$(GNOME_POMODORO_LIBS) \
$(top_builddir)/lib/libgnome-pomodoro.la

To read:

gnome_pomodoro_LDADD = \
$(top_builddir)/lib/libgnome-pomodoro.la \
$(GNOME_POMODORO_LIBS)

That is, swap the two lines and transfer the backslash.

@JGC, @heftig, thank you for all the suggestions. ♥

https://github.com/codito/gnome-shell-pomodoro/commit/ef9f7a59c51a8539375b1ca21b41765fca3f1019 does the job. =)

Closed for me, see https://github.com/codito/gnome-shell-pomodoro/issues/159#issuecomment-60141819 .
