Spatialite: compilation error cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgeo

I'm trying to make Spatialite PKGBUILD (http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/).

I have done:

./configure \
    --with-geos-include=/usr/include/geos/ \
    --with-geos-lib=/usr/lib

then I get this compilation error:

==> Starting make...
Making all in headers

If I look in my /usr/lib I have:

$ ls /usr/lib/libgeos*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1915763 Apr  4 21:49 /usr/lib/libgeos-3.2.1.so

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      16 Apr  4 21:49 /usr/lib/libgeos.so -> libgeos-3.2.1.so

How to solve?

Re: Spatialite: compilation error cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgeo

You could replace

"libgeos_c.la" with "libgeos_c.a"
"libgeos.la" with "libgeos.a"
"libproj.la" with "libproj.a"

in the Makefile generated by the configure script, using sed.

I tried it with this PKGBUILD

pkgname=libspatialite-amalgamation
pkgver=2.3.1
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="a complete Spatial DBMS in a nutshell"
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
depends=('geos' 'proj')
license=('MPL v1.1')
url="http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/"
source=(http://www.gaia-gis.it/spatialite/$pkgname-$pkgver.tar.gz)
         
build() {
        
          cd $srcdir/$pkgname-$pkgver   

          ./configure --prefix=/usr \
                --with-geos-lib=/usr/lib \
                --with-geos-include=/usr/include/geos \
                --with-proj-lib=/usr/lib \
                --with-proj-include=/usr/include
                        
         sed 's/libgeos_c.la/libgeos_c.a/g' Makefile > Makefile.tmp
         sed 's/libgeos.la/libgeos.a/g' Makefile.tmp > Makefile
         sed 's/libproj.la/libproj.a/g' Makefile > Makefile.tmp
         mv Makefile.tmp Makefile
         rm Makefile.tmp
                        
          make DESTDIR=${pkgdir} install || return 1
}

md5sums=('3e1b15a55a0bd511e6437fdb604a10b1')

it compiles and the package could be created, but makepkg gives this when it tries to stripp debugging symbols

 -> Stripping debugging symbols from binaries and libraries...
/usr/bin/strip:usr/lib/libspatialite.a(libgeos_c.a): Unable to recognise the format of file: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/strip:usr/lib/libspatialite.a(libgeos.a): Unable to recognise the format of file: File format not recognized
/usr/bin/strip:usr/lib/libspatialite.a(libproj.a): Unable to recognise the format of file: File format not recognized

I've not tested if the package works. I don't know what libspatialite is.

..but maybe my PKGBUILD helps you...

Re: Spatialite: compilation error cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgeo

I solve the problem recompiling geos and proj with libtool option activate, in this way I have *.la files and "makepkg -s" now works without problems.

Thank you SiD for your reply, but I don't think your solution could work because if I look to my library now I have

-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users  4282599 May 31 14:45 libgeos-3.2.1.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 pietro users 15594336 May 31 14:45 libgeos.a
-rw-r--r-- 1 pietro users   301686 May 31 14:45 libgeos_c.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users      947 May 31 14:45 libgeos_c.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pietro users       18 May 31 14:45 libgeos_c.so -> libgeos_c.so.1.6.1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pietro users       18 May 31 14:45 libgeos_c.so.1 -> libgeos_c.so.1.6.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users   213059 May 31 14:45 libgeos_c.so.1.6.1
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users      921 May 31 14:45 libgeos.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pietro users       16 May 31 14:45 libgeos.so -> libgeos-3.2.1.so
-rw-r--r-- 1 pietro users   697910 May 31 15:01 libproj.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users      813 May 31 15:01 libproj.la
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pietro users       16 May 31 15:01 libproj.so -> libproj.so.0.6.6
lrwxrwxrwx 1 pietro users       16 May 31 15:01 libproj.so.0 -> libproj.so.0.6.6
-rwxr-xr-x 1 pietro users   309695 May 31 15:01 libproj.so.0.6.6

As you can see, libgeos_c.a seem to be different from libgeos_c.la, so I don't think you could just replace with sed...

Ah ok, was just an idea. ;-)

Thanks Pietro!

I have the same problem, so, download pkgbuilds, activate libtools option and recompile Geos & Proj works fine.

Re: Spatialite: compilation error cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libgeo

Anybody managed to compile this set of packages recently? I am having problems to get Spatialite (AUR) and Proj.4 (from official) compiled together here on Arch x86_64. Proj.4 fails to compile with/without libtool, and without Proj.4 headers, Spatialite won't compile.

@pietro: Please share your PKGBUILDs if have them working.
