Bug 208527 – sci-libs/libqalculate, sci-calculators/qalculate-kde don't compile w/ cln-1.2.0 (need to use pkgconfig, not cln-config)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Albert W. Hopkins 2008-02-02 01:00:01 UTC]

The new cln-1.2.0 package breaks libqalcuate's and qalculate's linkage.  Re-emerging libqalculate fails with:

checking for CLN - version >= 1.1.0... no
*** The cln-config script installed by CLN could not be found
*** If CLN was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or set the CLN_CONFIG environment variable to the
*** full path to cln-config.
configure: error: No suitable installed version of CLN could be found.

!!! Please attach the following file when seeking support:
!!! /var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.6/work/libqalculate-0.9.6/config.log
 * 
 * ERROR: sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.6 failed.

Which is true, cln-1.2.0 does not have cln-config, but 

pkg-config --atleast-version=1.1.0

works.

And qalculate-kde:

 * Generated new /root/.revdep-rebuild.5_order

 * All prepared. Starting rebuild
emerge --oneshot  =dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.16 =sci-libs/libqalculate-0.9.6 =sci-calculators/qalculate-kde-0.9.6

Thanks much for the note. This is probably something that
should be done upstream but I'll see if there's an easy fix
to configure that we can send them.

Best,
Markus

[Comment 3 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-02-02 12:22:54 UTC]

I've filed a bug with upstream about this; lets see what
they have to say.

Thanks,
Markus

http://qalculate.sourceforge.net/downloads.html
specifically lists cln-1.1 as a requirement

[Comment 5 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-02-02 17:36:56 UTC]

@Chris: Yeah, I noticed this, too, so I guess we can't complain :D)

In any case, (I believe) I've fixed libqalculate, qalculate-gtk, and qalculate-kde
even though I've only test the first two which seem to work fine
for me. I don't have time today to look into this any further.
I've posted the 0.9.6-r1 ebuilds for all three at 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~markusle/sci-overlay/qalculate/

Please give them a spin an let me know of any problems.

Thanks,
Markus

[Comment 6 Markus Dittrich (RETIRED) 2008-02-02 18:25:20 UTC]

Looks like qalculate-kde doesn't work yet since since
it disables exceptions which are needed by cln-1.2.0.
I'll try to fix this tomorrow.

I just fixed qalculate-kde and the -r1 ebuild should now work as
well.

Thanks.

This should now be fixed in portage. I've also sent the 
patches upstream.

Thanks for reporting.
