If it is just the name of the +shared library file, as opposed to the full path, the program won't be +able to find it when it runs and will abort. Instead, the install_name +should be the full path to the shared library (in its final installed +location). + +Why does Notmuch work without this patch when installed via Homebrew? +The answer is twofold. One, /usr/local/lib is a special location in +which the dynamic linker will look by default to find shared libraries. +Homebrew highly recommends installing to /usr/local, and, assuming it +has been configured this way, the Notmuch library will end up installed +in /usr/local/lib, and the dynamic linker will find it. Two, Homebrew +globally corrects all install names in dynamically shared libraries and +binaries for each package it installs. So, even if the install names in +a package's binaries and libraries are incorrect, Homebrew corrects them +automatically, and no one ever knows. + +Why does Notmuch work without this patch when installed via MacPorts? +The answer is that MacPorts applies a patch just like this patch to fix +the same problem. +--- + lib/Makefile.local | 2 +- + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) + +diff --git a/lib/Makefile.local b/lib/Makefile.local +index 7278f46..f9ecd50 100644 +--- a/lib/Makefile.local ++++ b/lib/Makefile.local +@@ -27,7 +27,7 @@ LIBRARY_SUFFIX = dylib + LINKER_NAME = libnotmuch.$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX) + SONAME = libnotmuch.$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX) + LIBNAME = libnotmuch.$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MINOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_RELEASE).$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX) +-LIBRARY_LINK_FLAG = -dynamiclib -install_name $(SONAME) -compatibility_version $(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MINOR) -current_version $(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MINOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_RELEASE) ++LIBRARY_LINK_FLAG = -dynamiclib -install_name $(libdir)/$(SONAME) -compatibility_version $(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MINOR) -current_version $(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MAJOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_MINOR).$(LIBNOTMUCH_VERSION_RELEASE) + else + LIBRARY_SUFFIX = so + LINKER_NAME = libnotmuch.$(LIBRARY_SUFFIX) +-- +1.9.3 (Apple Git-50) + +This version of the patch has a better commit message as suggested +by David Bremner on the mailing list.
