qpdf @3.0.2: Undefined symbols: "Pl_Buffer::write(unsigned char*, unsigned long)"

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

When attempting to upgrade qpdf from version 3.0.1 to 3.0.2, the build fails with the following error:

:info:build libtool: link: /usr/bin/clang++ -pipe -O2 -arch x86_64 -Wall libtests/build/bits.o -o libtests/build/bits -arch x86_64  /Volumes/Files/macports/lib/libpcre.dylib -L/Volumes/Files/macports/lib -lz -lqpdf -Llibqpdf/build

There is currently another ticket #37385 open for this version of QPDF on a PPC system, but the errors produced are different thus I have opened a second ticket.

10.8.3 is not out yet, and according to the log, you're running 10.8.2. But probably the Xcode and clang versions are more important. What versions of those do you have? Find out the clang version by running "clang -v" and the Xcode version by getting info on the Xcode application.

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

Sorry, that was a typo. Yes, I'm running 10.8.2. Sorry.

XCode: 4.5.2

% clang -v
Apple clang version 4.1 (tags/Apple/clang-421.11.66) (based on LLVM 3.1svn)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin12.2.0

qpdf has been updated to 5.1.0 in r115739. Please reopen the ticket If the problem still persist.

Why 'wontfix'? Is this not fixed in the new version?

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

Won't fix because it makes no sense to fix an obsolete version, as is stated. If the problem persists, a new ticket should be filed. However, the new version compiles fine for me.

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

This may have been the same error as #42101, which has now finally been fixed (again).
