Bug 353308 – dev-libs/libdbusmenu[introspection] fails to build

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) 2011-01-31 13:32:16 UTC]

configure says:

AC_PATH_PROG([VALA_API_GEN], [vapigen])

which is used to generate libdbusmenu-gtk vapi files.

Then the following Makefile rules:

VALA_API_GEN =
DbusmenuGtk-0.2.vapi: DbusmenuGtk-0.2.tmp.gir Makefile.am
        $(VALA_API_GEN) --library=DbusmenuGtk-0.2 \
                --pkg gdk-pixbuf-2.0 \
                --pkg gtk+-2.0 \
                --pkg atk \
                --pkg Dbusmenu-Glib-0.2 \
                --vapidir=$(top_builddir)/libdbusmenu-glib \
                $<

obviously fail. Please add a DEPEND="vala:some_slot" or add VALA_API_GEN=$(type -P vapigen:some_slot) to econf.

Make sure your dependency is slotted to what upstream uses, see bug #338067 for why there is no easier way to deal with vala. Thanks.

USE=introspection enables Vala bindings, nice... And a shame I didn't notice it earlier.

I also fail to understand upstream logic on this one :)

Fixed in 6a7db316653a72172956cf36547b35e39c256c9a for 0.3.16-r1 and 0.3.94-r1

Thanks. Cheers from Brussels...

Theo moved this to the tree in libdbusmenu-0.3.16-r2, so I think we can declare the issue fixed.
