libgeotiff-1.2.5 fails to buld the utility programs (listgeo,geotifcp) correctly

[katzlbt (Dr. Thomas)]

PROBLEM: Trying to execute one of the utility programs that come with libgeotiff gives a dynamic link error:

$ listgeo
dyld: Library not loaded: libgeotiff.dylib.1.2.5
  Referenced from: /opt/local/bin/listgeo
  Reason: image not found
Trace/BPT trap

FIX: instead of using the dynamic version of the library (that gets renamed from libgeotiff.dylib.1.2.5 to libgeotiff.1.2.5.dylib) before installing, use the static .a version when linking the utils:

FILE: bin/Makefile(.in)

#ORIGINAL: LIBS=   -L$(GEOTIFFDIR) -lgeotiff @LIBS@
LIBS=   -L$(GEOTIFFDIR) ../libgeotiff.a @LIBS@

I am not sure if this is the best way to fix it, but it works. I manually edited the Makefile so I have no patch. Hope this helps.

Thanks for macports!

There is a tool to do that: install_name_tool. I will have a look, since I am currently porting grass and qgis (grass is done, I'm working on the latest qgis)

Add the following line at the end of the Portfile, before the closing brace of the post-destroot target:

    system "find ${destroot}${prefix}/bin -type f -not -name '*.*' -and -not -name Makefile -print -exec install_name_tool -change libgeotiff.dylib.${version} ${prefix}/lib/libgeotiff.${version}.dylib {} \\;"

and all will be nice. But I don't understand why the Makefile does not install the "makegeo" executable…

Sorry, bad cut/copy. It should read:

system "find ${destroot}${prefix}/bin -type f -exec install_name_tool -change libgeotiff.dylib.${version} ${prefix}/lib/libgeotiff.${version}.dylib {} \\;"
