More fun for the AIX platform; Using version 3.3.7, GNU Make and GCC 4.2.0

However lib/syslog-ng/libafsocket.so is installed it is installed in such a way that the dependency for libsyslog-ng-crypto.a cannot be found. Seems like some
kind of libtool problem.

$ ldd /opt/local/syslogng/lib/syslog-ng/libafsocket.so           
/opt/local/syslogng/lib/syslog-ng/libafsocket.so needs:
Cannot find libsyslog-ng-crypto.a(libsyslog-ng-crypto.so)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libssl.so
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libcrypto.so
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libglib-2.0.a(libglib-2.0.so.0)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libevtlog.a(libevtlog.so.0)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libsyslog-ng.a(libsyslog-ng-3.3.7.so)
         /usr/lib/libc.a(shr.o)
         /usr/lib/librtl.a(shr.o)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libgcc_s.a(shr.o)
         /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_xpg5.o)
         /usr/lib/libiconv.a(shr4.o)
         /usr/lib/libpthread.a(shr_comm.o)
         /usr/lib/libpthread.a(shr_xpg5.o)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libintl.a(libintl.so.8)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libgmodule-2.0.a(libgmodule-2.0.so.0)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libgthread-2.0.a(libgthread-2.0.so.0)
         /opt/local/syslogng/lib/libivykis.a(libivykis.so.0)
         /unix
         /usr/lib/libcrypt.a(shr.o)
         /usr/lib/libpthreads.a(shr_comm.o)
         /usr/lib/libthread.a(shr.o)


Also, be aware that shared libraries on AIX use the .a suffix, not .so. Out of the box shared libraries are archived into .a files.

$ ar tv /opt/local/syslogng/lib/syslog-ng/libafsocket.a
rwxr-xr-x     0/0     572423 Dec 19 20:23 2012 libafsocket-tls.so

The default "make install" process leaves nothing but *.a files in lib/syslog-ng and on startup the user is greeted with many errors about missing loadable
modules.

The RPM that Perzl makes gets around this by running ar -X32 -x'ing all of these .a files so the system is populated with both .a and .so versions of the
files.

(
  cd ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_libdir}
  for f in *.a ; do
      /usr/bin/ar -X32 -x ${f}
  done

  cd ${RPM_BUILD_ROOT}%{_libdir}/%{name}
  for f in *.a ; do
      /usr/bin/ar -X32 -x ${f}
  done
)

Can this be fixed?
