Bugzilla Bug 9413

version : 0.0.5

Build fails during configure saying it can't find popt.h which exists...

configure: error: *** Cannot find popt.h header

!!! ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully.
!!! Function econf, Line 9, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

about popt.h : 

root@ghort666:/tmp> stat /usr/include/popt.h

ok, what is in config.log:

configure:5963: checking for popt.h
configure:5973: /lib/cpp  -I/usr/include conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
cpp0: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/include"
cpp0: warning:   as it has already been specified as a non-system directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 5968 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <popt.h>

both lines with cpp0:... are the whole stderr output of the above cmdline, and
configure does :
ac_err=`grep -v '^ *+' conftest.out | grep -v "^conftest.${ac_ext}\$"`
and checks if ac_err is null, it isn't because it contains both lines beginning
by cpp0:...
so configure fails... thinking the output was like "popt.h : not found"

I don't know how these configure scripts work, so I've got no idea of where to
fix that...

Hope you've got all needed infos ...

gcc 3 issue it looks like

I committed a new ebuild with a patch that eliminates the cause of the
warnings.
 This is really a bug in autoconf, though.
