--with-exporter needs to be added to the configure flags. abiwords needs that to compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
which abiword are we talking about exactly ? abi2 series i suppose, it really doesn't need that to my knowledge. Does your build break ? if so, what ouput ?
abiword 1.9.0 ebuild needs wvexporter.h now if you use the system's wv instead of compiling it with the wv package that comes with abiword you need that file. and you can get that only by adding what i wrote before.
nah that should be installed by default
While emerging app-office/anjuta-1.9.0-ebuild here is the error messages appeared during the econf operation: checking for size_t... yes checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no checking for xml2-config... /usr/bin/xml2-config checking for wv-libconfig... /usr/bin/wv-libconfig checking for wvInitParser in -lwv... yes checking wv.h usability... no checking wv.h presence... yes configure: WARNING: wv.h: present but cannot be compiled configure: WARNING: wv.h: check for missing prerequisite headers? configure: WARNING: wv.h: proceeding with the preprocessor's result checking for wv.h... yes checking wvexporter.h usability... no checking wvexporter.h presence... no checking for wvexporter.h... no configure: error: * * * Sorry, unable to find wvexporter.h * * * !!! ERROR: app-office/abiword-1.9.0 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I also tried to change the app-text/wv-0.7.5.ebuild by adding --with-exporter to the econf line in the src_compile section and the same errors hapened while compiling abiword again Hope this helps
the question is does wvexporter.h exist on the system. If not, well there might be a problem with abiword detecting it, but then again it is a development version and in that case i'm not going to fix it. So is /usr/include/wvexporter.h installed ?
let me clear things for everyone. if you add --with-exporter to the configure line it installs wvexporter.h. now.. you should check config.log. after compiling with --with-exporter it does install wvexporter.h but gives you the same error about wvexporter. if you'll read config.log you'll see that the problem is actaully that it can't find glibconfig.h. it doesn't include the neceserry directory. it's a bug that i've informed the abiword programmers in their irc channel and they're working on it. just if you add the glib-2.0 include path it works fine. still.. --with-exporter needs to be added by default
i don't need to add anything to have it install wvexporter.h (?) And what do you exactly mean with you have to add glib-2 include path, the problem is that an include of wv needs the glib-1.2 path and the abiword team is well aware of this problem, i have my contacts there. Anyway, i actually cannot be bothered looking into this mess with new versions due shortly. If it was really a problem the way it currently is i would have dozens bugreports like this by now and i don't, so i assume it is a local problem. Commentor in #4, my question in #5 still stands.
