Bugzilla Bug 113548

the configure checks for nspr and nss do not find the headers/libs.
configure just continues switching the nss feature off again.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xmlsec

Actual Results:  
missing nss feature

Expected Results:  
nss featured xmlsec

for your satisfaction

configure fixes for gentoo paths

ok, that patch works with dev-libs/nspr-4.6.
i will add changed patch for <dev-libs/nspr-4.6.

Created an attachment (id=73564) [details]
for <dev-libs/nspr-4.6

reason:
dev-libs/nspr-4.6 got its libs under /usr/lib/nspr/
<dev-libs/nspr-4.6 got its libs under /usr/lib/

btw, dev-libs/nss-3.9.2 and dev-libs/nss-3.10 got the libs under /usr/lib/nss/

better than the hacks i did is to use pkg-config to get the libs/headers of nss
and nspr. i will add a patch for that and example pkg-config files for nss and
nspr because they are not shipped with these packages.

xmlsec-nss.pc.in, mozilla-nss -> nss depend

Created an attachment (id=73841) [details]
depend on mozilla-nss or firefox-nss instead on dev-libs/{nspr,nss}

any reason why it needs to depend on dev-libs/{nspr,nss}?

this should not depend on mozilla/firefox nss/nspr. It is a very bad ideal IMO
to depend on either when nss/nspr packages are in the tree. 

well, besides that nss issue in general. ;)

i want to build openoffice with system xmlsec.
xmlsec then needs nss feature - from nss, mozilla-nss or firefox-nss.
building openoffice with mozilla or firefox brwoser plugin takes nss from them.
xmlsec uses dev-libs/{nspr,nss}.
sure this does trouble.

Btw, if you want dev-libs/xmlsec to depend on nspr/nss from tree please fix
configure(.in) and xmlsec-nss.pc.in, thanks.
At the moment it is impossible to build the nss feature from xmlsec in tree anyway.

Another attempt to fix this as well as bug 114019 the way Mozilla-Herd wants
it.

I will add diffs to link xmlsec1-nss against system nspr/nss.
I had a look on Mozilla Build Configurator. There are now flags for:
  --with-system-nspr --with-system-nss

See: http://webtools.mozilla.org/build/config.cgi

It is about time to use them.

create pkg-config file for nspr

Let applications get nspr flags from pkg-config file.

Created an attachment (id=77896) [details]
create pkg-config file for nss

Let applications get flags from nss pkg-config file

(From update of attachment 77896 [details])
Err, it should be:

-       >=dev-libs/nspr-${NSPR_VER}-r2"
+       >=dev-libs/nspr-${NSPR_VER}"

Once more...

-       >=dev-libs/nspr-4.4.1-r2"
+       >=dev-libs/nspr-${NSPR_VER}-r2"


...it could be cool to edit attached diffs.

link xmlsec to nss

New bugreports opened for nspr and nss bump.
They include ebuilds and pkg-config files.
Depend on them.

In 1.2.9-r1 in cvs.
Thanks a bunch!
