Description David Flogeras 2012-05-29 01:09:35 UTC

Boost headers are required to build.  I cleaned up my system (including removing bdeps) and kopete was failing until I manually re-installed boost.  The exact CMake message was pretty clear:

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND.
Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files:
Boost_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED)

Reproducible: Always

I cannot see that Kopete directly depends on boost. However protocols/wlm depends on kdepimlibs which installs headers that include boost.

Thank-you for the report, this is now fixed in CVS. Please reopen this bug if you experience further problems.

+  30 May 2012; Michael Palimaka <kensington@gentoo.org> kdepimlibs-4.8.3.ebuild:
+  Add boost as an rdep, since headers that include it are installed. Fixes bug
+  #418071.

Thanks.  Too bad the DEPEND didn't have an inheritable variant for just this case.  Seems a shame to have to install 100MB of boost binaries on my poor little netbook :)  Hopefully someone addresses #410621 soon!
