[Bug 20907] New: $ORIGIN is undefined on NetBSD, breaking compile

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=20907

Summary: $ORIGIN is undefined on NetBSD, breaking compile
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.33
          Platform: PC
               URL: http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2009/07/29/m
                    sg004188.html
        OS/Version: NetBSD
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: download, source
          Severity: blocker
          Priority: P2
         Component: build-env
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

When compiling on NetBSD, build fails _really_ early, with:
execname not specified in AUX vector

googling around, I found:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-users/2009/07/29/msg004188.html

which shows that apparently $ORIGIN is not defined on NetBSD. I'm not quite
sure wine can work around it, so marking the bug as unconfirmed for now...

Sounds like a NetBSD bug, it should ignore $ORIGIN if it doesn't support it
instead of failing.

Still present in git/NetBSD 5.0.2.

I don't suppose you know of a workaround Alexandre? I've been googling around
for half an hour and haven't found anything.

Is this still an issue in wine 1.5.9 or in netbsd?

Yes, though there's recently been some activity on the NetBSD bug:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=42420

though they're of the opinion that it's a wine bug:
 Actually, I take it back, the only thing the cited Wine configure test
 actually checks for is whether rpaths are accepted (which should be
 the case on any ELF system) and whether they're allowed to contain $.

Since rpaths are apparently allowed to contain anything (even control
 characters) the configure test is absolutely worthless. There's no
 point attempting to disable $ORIGIN in binutils since it looks as if
 binutils doesn't know or need to know anything about it.

As I said some time back, the configure test should be changed
 upstream to actually test for the feature, in which case the problem
 goes away.

Like I explained in that bug, we don't care if $ORIGIN doesn't work, but it
shouldn't cause the binary to fail to load, and that's a NetBSD bug. It should
just ignore an invalid rpath and continue with the normal library search.

Still in NetBSD 6. This diplomatic issue will probably last forever.

Based on http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26630#c13 my closing was wrong,
as i didn't check the status at upstream...

Reverting back CLOSED to RESOLVED.

This was inadvertently caught up in my unclosed bugs filter. NOTOURBUG should
only be closed when fixed upstream.

Setting back to RESOLVED NOTOURBUG.

Sorry for the spam.
