Bug 222127 – media-libs/libkdcraw: ebuild doesn't die after configure fails

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tomáš Linhart 2008-05-14 18:13:16 UTC]

I am trying to install media-plugins/kipi-plugin-0.1.5, but the process fails during the configure phase with the following error:
checking for libkdcraw in our sources... not found in sources
checking for libkdcraw >= 0.1.2... configure: error: libkdcraw library is required by kipi-plugins.

!!! ERROR in media-plugins/kipi-plugins-0.1.5:
!!! In econf at line 2287
!!! econf failed

I am a little confused by this message, because I have libkdcraw already installed, as shown below:

# eix libkdcraw
[I] media-libs/libkdcraw
     Available versions:  (~)0.1.0 0.1.1 (~)0.1.2 (~)0.1.3 (~)0.1.4 {arts debug elibc_FreeBSD xinerama}
     Installed versions:  0.1.4(19:58:49 14.5.2008)(-arts -debug -elibc_FreeBSD -xinerama)
     Homepage:            http://www.kipi-plugins.org
     Description:         KDE Image Plugin Interface: a dcraw library wrapper




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to emerge media-plugins/kipi-plugins
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
The emerging process fails during configure complaining about missing libkdcraw library

Expected Results:  
Emerge package media-plugins/kipi-plugins successfuly.

It seems to be strange that qlist libkdcraw shows no binaries, but only some docs - I am not sure if this is correct.

HI Tomas, please try re-merging of the libkdcraw package. If it doesn't help, please post full build logs of the libkdcraw as it is indeed broken on your system.

emerge log of the libkdcraw package

[Comment 3 Tomáš Linhart 2008-05-14 21:17:48 UTC]

Re-emerging of the libkdcraw package did not help.
But when looking through the build log thoroughly, I found these lines:

-- libkdcraw configure results -------------------
-- lcms found..................... NO

libkdcraw needs Lcms library. You need to install the lcms development package.
Lcms website is at http://www.littlecms.com

So I tried to emerge the media-libs/lcms package and re-emerged the libkdcraw package again. After that the kipi-plugins packages builds correctly.

Dear KDE team, there is obviously a missing dep on media-libs/lcms and also either error in upstream's configure script or kde eclass not dealing with econf failures. Please fix0r :).

Yes, upstream's configure script doesn't return error when it fails. econf dies on its own so the '|| die' for econf in kde.eclass isn't even necessary.

Add dependency on media-libs/lcms to media-libs/libkdcraw

Patch to add dependency on media-libs/lcms to media-libs/libkdcraw attached, which fixes the problem for me on Linux cube 2.6.25-gentoo-r6 #1 Mon Jul 7 12:49:30 PDT 2008 ppc 7400, altivec supported PowerMac5,1 GNU/Linux

[Comment 8 Patrik Gornicz 2008-09-01 22:41:17 UTC]

Just here to say that this bug occurred again when adding kipi plugins support to gwenview. emerging lcms then reemerging libkdcraw fixed my problem too.

[Comment 9 Timo Gurr (RETIRED) 2008-09-06 13:04:14 UTC]

I've added a hard depend on media-libs/lcms to libkdcraw-0.1.4, leaving this bug open for the configure script issue..

[Comment 10 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2009-06-14 09:40:09 UTC]

Okey, the dependency is in main tree since 0.1.4 from what i can see. So this bug is fixed.
