indicator-printers fails to build- /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups

Asked by Michael Healy

I am attempting to build indicator-printers using Arch Linux. My build fails with /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups. I have searched for this on the internet, but I have been unable to find a file with that name. My output for ld -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups is as follows:

attempt to open /usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64/libdbusmenu-glib-lcups.so failed
attempt to open /usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib64/libdbusmenu-glib-lcups.a failed

attempt to open /usr/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libdbusmenu-glib-lcups.a failed
ld: cannot find -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups

I can find libdbusmenu-glib, but not libdbusmenu-glib-lcups.so or libdbusmenu-glib-lcups.a. What package provides those files?

Here is the output of my build:

I'd be grateful for any help you could give. I'm an avid Arch user that loves Unity, and I'm trying to build Unity from source. I'm stuck on this file, and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction!

Okay, I think I found the cause- when the build fails, I take a look at the Makefile. On line 312 for SERVICE_LIBS, all of the needed libs are listed. Towards the end, column 160, -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups is listed. Shouldn't it read -ldbusmenu-glib -lcups? I see all the library files on my PC under /usr/lib. I do not see -ldbusmenu-glib-lcups, but it seems to me that all the library files start with -l. I've been searching for a way to fix this problem, but I have been unable to do so. Can someone help me please?

It seems that there is really a space character missing. If you modify the makefile and try building the package again, what is the result?

Thanks for your reply, Manfred. I did try to edit the makefile located in the Ubuntu packages, but when I would save them and try to rebuild the package, the makefile gets re-written. The makefile is created by a couple of other files contained in the Ubuntu packages, but I've been unable to locate the file(s) where the SERVICE_LIBS are generated. While I was poking around, I found that I could use configure to call the SERVICE_LIBS in my PKGBUILD file. I copied the SERVICE_LIBS portion of the makefile, then edited my PKGBUILD with that information. After several failed attempts (that were due to my lack of knowledge of how to use configure correctly), what I found was that the SERVICE_LIBS I was calling with configure were getting into the makefile properly, but somehow somewhere another file was adding a few more libraries to the SERVICE_LIBS section in the makefile. For some reason there was no space in between the last SERVICE_LIBS file I called and the ones that were added. The result was that the last SERVICE_LIBS library file I called ALWAYS ended with -lcups. Once I figured that out, I put another backslash in my configure file and was able to build the file successfully. My question now- is this specific to Arch Linux, or can I recreated the same issue in Ubuntu or some other distribution? I do not have Ubuntu installed anywhere right at the moment, but I will install 14.04 in the near future (the next few days) and try to build indicator-printers in it. If I have the same problem, then I probably should file a bug report.

I am not sure whether I am able to answer your question.

There is quite a difference between Ubuntu and Arch Linux.
For Ubuntu the packages are distributed in binary format, so usually there is no need that you have to compile anything locally. An error in the makefile (or config scripts or...) would only affect the central building of the package, but not the end user.
Arch Linux's standards (as far as I am aware) is to compile and build software on your own system, thus any makefile error will pop up at the end user's system.

I dug into the source, and I think I spotted the file where the problematic expression is.

configure.ac line ~55:
SERVICE_LIBS+=`$CUPS_CONFIG --libs`
If you change this line into
SERVICE_LIBS += `$CUPS_CONFIG --libs`
does it then work?

Or, which change have you made?

Thank you very much for your reply! I certainly agree that Arch and Ubuntu are very different. I used Ubuntu for several years before switching to Arch. I have been using Unity on Arch now for quite some time, but the repo maintainer for Unity-for-Arch hasn't done any work on those files for quite some time, and the Arch update to GNOME 3.18 breaks Unity. My quest is to build the required packages from source and get Unity working on Arch again. My Arch PKGBUILD file just points to the build files contained in the Ubuntu source files and tells them to build from there. I will create a patch for configure.ac with your suggested edits, update my PKGBUILD file, and see if it builds correctly. I'll let you know what happens. I'll try it on Ubuntu as well once I get it installed. If the problem does occur in both Arch and Ubuntu, should I file a bug report, or are you able to fix the source package yourself?

First it has to be tested whether adding space characters really matters (I haven't tested this myself).

It this helps, then please file a bug report.

Thanks for your reply, again. I tested your suggestion, and the package does indeed build correctly with the space added into the configure.ac file. This separates -lcups from the previous library files- I verified it in the makefile generated by configure.ac. Now there are library files that are repeated in the SERVICE_LIBS area. Here's the SERVICE_LIBS portion of the makefile, just so you can see what I'm talking about:

SERVICE_LIBS = -lindicator3 -lgtk-3 -lgdk-3 -lpangocairo-1.0 -lpango-1.0 -latk-1.0 -lcairo-gobject -lcairo -lgdk_pixbuf-2.0 -lgio-2.0 -lgobject-2.0 -lglib-2.0 -ldbusmenu-glib -lcups -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lcups -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz

As you can see, after the first instance of -lcups, it repeats the exact same libraries again. While it is odd, it doesn't stop the file from building correctly. Should I go ahead and file the bug report off of what I'm experiencing on Arch, or should I try to build the package on Ubuntu (or some other Linux distro) to see if the problem still occurs?

Oops, I spoke too soon. I built the package with the old PKGBUILD file, so of COURSE it built correctly with the repetitive libraries I showed. I tried your suggestion, and it spit out all kinds of errors. I took a look at the makefile and found that the SERVICE_LIBS section was missing all the libraries from -lcups and after. I edited my PKGBUILD, called just the SERVICE_LIBS prior to -lcups, and it built correctly. I'm not sure what's calling the extra libraries, but somewhere something is adding -lcups, -lgssapit_krb5, -lkrb5, -lk5crypto, lcom_err, -lz, -lpthread, -lm, and -lcrypt. It's also adding an additional -lz to the end. I didn't expressly call those SERVICE_LIBS in my PKGBUILD, so they've got to be coming from the source files somewhere. I'm going to paste my PKGBUILD here so that you can see what I'm calling.

Here's my PKGBUILD file that correctly builds:

  rm -r "${pkgdir}/usr/share/upstart/"
}

If you take out the call for SERVICE_LIBS in the configure section of my PKGBUILD, the build fails with the error listed in the original post.

The only difference that the change in my PKGBUILD makes is the separation of -ldbusmenu-glib and -lcups, which allows the package to build. Can you think of anything else that would cause the additional libraries to be added without that space?

Sorry, but this goes beyond my knowledge about development and packaging.
I think you better create a bug report that the developers have a look into it.

Just one last detail, what is the output of

cups-config --version
cups-config --libs

Just for your information, I just built indicator-printers on a new install of Ubuntu 15.10 with no problems. There's something that Arch is doing that is creating the problem. I'm going to do some poking around to see if I can discover the problem. I'll get the output you asked for here shortly.

Sorry it took me so long to get the output to you, but here it is:

cups-config --version
2.1.0

cups-config --libs
-lcups -lgssapi_krb5 -lkrb5 -lk5crypto -lcom_err -lz -lpthread -lm -lcrypt -lz

Those library files are the ones that get added on to the end of the SERVICE_LIBS section of the makefile. Somehow, the build file isn't putting a space where there needs to be one. I'll dig around and see what I can come up with... thanks for your help. Since I built it successfully on Ubuntu, there's no reason to file a bug report. Thanks for all the time you put into helping me find an answer!
