I tried to emerge libbonoboui and received an error compiling. As per irc discussion with spider this evening, the determination was that the compiler was unable to find the libxml2 header directory. By adding the following hack to the libbonoboui-2.0.3.2 ebuild, I was able to work around this problem: CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -I/usr/include/libxml2" Thanks, Spider. :)
okay, I've commited the "fixed" ebuild, but we should probably get this fixed properly.
This is probably a 2.0.3.2 only problem, which is a release for the 2.1 version : basicly it is 2.0.3 with possible gtk-2.1 extensions. We could remove it and just use 2.0.3. I checked the build btw and it just lacks a few lines in a a few Makefiles.
okay, honestly the correct fix is to patch the Makefiles accordingly, but since the current hack works, lets just keep it : ) Resolving this as Wontfix since we wont fix the proper way ;)
i am cool with this resolution, but please think about sending a brief note to the package maintainers or gnome-dev lists so it is sure to be corrected in the next release. Don't assume they'll notice and fix it on their own. :) Thanks. And marking as verified, because the fix did work for me.
I have installed 2.0.3.2 before without this problem, so i suppose something else broke it. I should check the 2.1 version if it's still a problem (thats the latest and greatest really).
