Bug 83794 – libxmlpp-1.0.4 contains wrong pkg-config information

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dennis Frommknecht 2005-03-02 03:04:04 UTC]

When compiling applications that are using libxmlpp and get their flags from pgk-cpnfig (wormux in my case), then the build fails.
The problem is the file /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libxml++-1.0.pc
The line 
  Cflags: -I${includedir}/libxml++-1.0 -I${libdir}/libxml++-1.0/include
should read
  Cflags: -I${includedir}/libxml++-1.0
as the last directory does not exist and g++ complains about that missing directory.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.using "pkg-config libxml++-1.0 --cflags" with g++
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
g++ complains about missing directory

... and this patch against the 1.0.4 ebuild uses it.

like i said to mr_bones on irc, this applies not just to the 1.0.4 slot, but all slots. Please fix it all the way (& more importantly, also get the fix upstream).

Mr_Bones_ I've removed your patch from portage.  All ebuilds now call dosed in src_install to fix the pkgconfig file.  A bug has been lodged upstream[1].
