Bug 104858 – mpio-0.7.1_pre2 compilation fails, complains about not having libusb >=0.1.7 even though it is present.

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Lindstrom 2005-09-05 00:02:17 UTC]

Trying to compile mpio-0.7.1_pre2 on my machine irremediably fails during the
first parts of the build. Indeed, here's the failure point:

*** configure: WARNING: you need at least version 0.1.7 of the libusb library
for USB support
*** http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/
*** If you cannot find the appropriate version, try CVS

It should be noted that libusb-0.1.10a is currently installed.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install latest x86 libusb (0.1.10a)
2. Try installing mpio-0.7.1_pre2.

Actual Results:  
mpio's configure complains about not finding libusb.

Expected Results:  
mpio's configure script should detect the present libusb installation.

You didn't include the output of emerge --info as instructed on the bug
submission page.  Please do that.

Woops! Didn't pay too much attention, first time here ;-).

The same happens on an amd64 system.  emerge --info below:

 Downgrading to dev-libs/libusb-0.1.7-r1 works. It's the same if you try to
build manually from source. Maybe some error in the makefiles?

[Comment 5 TGL 2005-10-15 16:20:59 UTC]

Autoconf version checking is obviously wrong (string comparison):

if test "$LIBUSB_VER" \< "0.1.7"; then
    AC_MSG_WARN([
*** You need at least version 0.1.7 of the libusb library for USB support
*** http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/
*** If you cannot find the appropriate version, try CVS
            ])
    exit 1
fi

What is funny is that it's a copy/paste from libgphoto2, where it is just used
to display a warning because it is known to be broken, but it has been made
fatal in mpio. The proper fix would be to use a real version comparison macro
like ax_compare_version, but i guess for the need of making this ebuild work
ripping out the offending chunk would be enough.

[Comment 6 Anton Bolshakov 2006-04-28 10:03:01 UTC]

Created attachment 85672 [details, diff]
removing libusb version check in configure script.

add unpack section to the build:

src_unpack()
{
        unpack ${A}
        cd "${S}"
        epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-libusb.patch
}

Please check the patch and close a bug.

[Comment 7 Anton Bolshakov 2006-04-28 10:07:34 UTC]

it should be also one more line in ebuild:
inherit eutils

*** Bug 134968 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

[Comment 9 Anton Bolshakov 2006-08-12 19:53:11 UTC]

Created attachment 94106 [details]
use this ebuild and the patch above to compile.
