Constant linker error with gnome-commander

Asked by schollsky

Dear Sirs,

I'm trying to build gnome-commander not only for Disco Dingo (which was successful), but also for Bionic version of Ubuntu. I cannot get rid of a linker error and would be grateful if you could check this.

The same code builds under Disco, but not in Bionic, which puzzles me a lot.

Buildlog is here:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/458690485/buildlog_ubuntu-bionic-amd64.gnome-commander_1.10.2-28_BUILDING.txt.gz.

Binary package builds fine in a locally set up 18.04 virtual machine.

Happy new year &
kind regards

Stefan "schollsky" Czinczoll

Apparently the library libgtest.a is not contained in the libgtest-dev package for Ubuntu bionic.
It was added only in version1.8.0-10ubuntu1 (for cosmic) see also bug #1774011

Which version of libgtest-dev do you have on the VM where building works?
Suggestion: Try building libgtest-dev 1.8.0-10ubuntu1 for bionic in your PPA, or add a PPA that has such version.

Hi Manfred,

I could not build in the VM any more, instead using Ubuntu Version 20.04
now because of patching problems with Makefiles.

I couldn't build gtest 1.8.1 as seperate PPA which I was trying - the
binary won't build due to unknown reason.

Restarting from scratch now.

Kind regards

Stefan
