[perl #39742] [BUG] installed parrot conflicts with dev parrot.

The development version of parrot should not be detecting or
interacting with the installed (/usr/local, e.g.) versions at all.

The fact that there is interference here currently means you *can't*
have an installed parrot if you are also working out of the source.

Regards.

This issue is looking much like a BSD linker options thingy to me. I could
never verify this ticket on linux.

Let me have a look and I'll get back to you.

Can't install it, either.

Can we get an update as to the issues raised in this ticket?

Thank you very much.

The general issue

"installeld parrot conflicts with dev parrot"
-- at least when a shared libparrot.so is used

is, as far as I know, unsolved. A longer discussion can be found here
(and the surrounding thread):

just shared a libparrot.so

It is still true that
gcc ... -L/usr/local/lib ... -L.../blib/lib -lparrot -L/usr/local/lib
-lgmp -lreadline
would prefer a /usr/local/lib/libparrot.dll.a if there would be some,
(there is even a /usr/lib/libparrot.dll.a)
but the nature of this import lib is affected by PATH,
which is so constructed that blib/lib prepends the installed libparrot.

Just the perl5 ldflags setting have to fixed in the config hints step.
-L/usr/local/lib can be stripped at all, if some parrot lib pulls that
in. If not it has to be put after -lparrot.

With the recent merge which changed the exception handling,
I was able to reproduce and fix the problem not being able to compile a
fresh parrot with an already installed shared libparrot.
So my previous comment was wrong.

The reason for the problem is simple and two-fold:
1. libs belongs to the end.

first LDFLAGS, then LD_LOAD_FLAGS, then libparrot,
then LIBS + EXTRALIBS.

dynpmc got this wrong.
It had LIBS at the front.
a. One should not put libs before the LDFLAGS.
b. One should reverse the LIBS line in order of dependencies.
We have the problem that the libs line is generated automatically
and may contain -L/usr/lib (pulled in from libicu) and -L/usr/local/lib,
so the already installed -lparrot will be found.

So our -Lblib/lib should be at the front, best in LDFLAGS.
Note that parrot.pc got that right:
Libs: -L${libdir} -lparrot @icu_shared@ @libs@

2. remove the perl5 -L/usr/local/lib LDFLAGS which would pull in
a shared /usr/local/lib/libparrot.so before checking -Lblib/lib
-lparrot.

One fix could be to check this in Configure and move all -L from LDFLAGS
to the LIBS flag at the front.

The other fix would be to explicitly link to blib/lib/libparrot.so,
without path hacks, which could be easily fooled.

This patch adds PATH resp. LD_RUN_PATH to the parrot invocations,
similar as in perl5.
It moves a -L<path> from @ldflags@ to @libs@ in config.
It also adds emacs/vim modes to the Makefiles.
It also adds Makefile targets to regenerate the Makefiles automatically.

There's still some problem though with this env PATH=blib/lib prefix,
which looks weird and is very likely and unrelated.
