I think you're right, that dev-libs/gobject-introspection provides the aclocal file defining HAVE_INTROSPECTION. It might need to be a mandatory compile-time dependency to get this package to build.

We must fix gnome's autogen otherwise we will get this problem forever.

Do you have any idea about what did upstream do about this issue?
Comment 4 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-06-21 12:02:35 UTC
reporting with a patch is what upstream is waiting for :p

if someone feel's up to it, what needs to be added is:
 * gtk-doc
 * gconf
 * gobject-introspection

This is the minimum we've been fighting with up to now.

I have the very same problem too.:
I had a very lite version of KDE 4.4 I was trying to update to KDE 4.6. When I was trying to "emerge -uDN world". this error appeared.

this is the error:

/bin/grep: /usr/lib64/libpixman-1.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libpixman-1.la No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib64/libpixman-1.la` is not a valid libtool archive
.
.
.
Failed to emerge dev-libs/gobject-introspection-0.10.8.

Unfortunately I can't use KDE now. Plz fix this soon. Because I can't do my job now.

I have tried to do it but I don't know how to add them properly and, then, I have failed to fix this :-(

If none of us knows how to fix gnome-autogen.sh (or doesn't have time for fix this) maybe we could manually install that missing macros downstream in out gnome-common package :-/ It's not the best option but it's still better than needing to provide some missing macros on every affected package...

Does the rest of gnome team agree with this solution or anybody knows how to fix gnome-autogen.sh for providing them?
Comment 10 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-11 00:22:22 UTC
IMHO, the correct solution would be:
1. Split gobject-introspection-am and gconf-am from gobject-introspection and gconf (similarly to how gtk-doc-am is split from gtk-doc). This will ensure that the macros are kept in sync with the packages.
2. Have gnome-common RDEPEND on gtk-doc-am, gobject-introspection-am, and gconf-am.
Comment 11 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-09-11 07:42:33 UTC
I think that idea was evaluated some time ago and we ever think dropping gtk-doc-am in favor of this was preferred... but maybe if we make gnome-common depend on this -am packages... :-/
Comment 12 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-11 08:00:37 UTC
Well, on second thought...

introspection.m4 has not changed since December 2009, and has 3 changes total in its revision history.
gconf-2.m4 has not changed since April 2009. Prior to that, it was updated, on average, once every 2 years.

gtk-doc.m4, on the other hand, is much more actively developed: it received 4 updates in 2011.

So perhaps we could add introspection.m4 and gconf-2.m4 to our gnome-common package, while still keeping gtk-doc-am separate (and making gnome-common rdepend on gtk-doc-am). This could work as long as everyone remembers to update the gnome-common package if/when upstream makes any changes to introspection.m4 and gconf-2.m4.
Comment 13 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-11 08:35:14 UTC
This is not the right solution. The right solution is to make sure upstream packages provide this macros in their tarball. The creation of gtk-doc-am was a mistake because I didn't realize back then that all gnome package use gnome-autogen which does include every macro that is needed to a few notable exception that ought to be fixed.

It will not solve our problem in a day in any case, but it's the only way to stop depending on gnome-common and any macro providing package in the future.

[...]

I agree with it being the best solution but, sadly, I remember to see some upstream refused to provide (for example) introspection macro :-/ (I think it was anjuta upstream)
Comment 15 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-11 13:45:20 UTC
yes but if I remember correctly the argument was that they were using gnome-autogen which is supposed to do that and they weren't ready to do it themselves. In any case, solving if there's only a few package doing this in the end, it's still a win for us. Less maintenance headaches.
Comment 16 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-21 22:01:54 UTC
I worked a bit on this in gnome-common however it looks like the logic of gnome-autogen is a bit crazy. It tries to do various checks to ensure autoreconf will work and doing so runs a couple of scripts from gtk-doc, libtool & co. But the problem is that is leaves the responsability of copying the macros to those scripts.

This is fine for non-gnome tools such as libtool, but it's less optimal for things such as gtk-doc, gnome-doc-utils, ... I will try to get in touch with upstream to see what they think about adding a system that actually takes the macros from require_m4macro to copy them to the configure m4 folder.
Comment 17 Gilles Dartiguelongue (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-09-21 22:02:51 UTC
Of and for the record, it's been a long time running gnome-autogen should have added gtk-doc macro to m4 folders in upstream tarballs. I guess we can start filling bug reports about those who don't ship them right now.

To be sure before reporting: on any new bump I will try to drop gtk-doc-am dependency (and uninstall it) and see if package works only with gnome-common, is that ok? Did you find any "reference" explaining that gnome-autogen should add gtk-doc macro to m4 folders? (if you don't have it, no problem, but if you have it, I think will be better to refer to it in bug reports :))

Thanks
Comment 19 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2011-12-11 13:18:47 UTC
Do you approve to simply manually provide that missing .m4 files with our downstream gnome-common package? I talked about this issue with nirbheek some time ago but looks like he neither had time to look at this, and, personally, I am unable to find how to tweak gnome-autogen to do what we expect :S

Any updates here?
Comment 21 Alexandre Rostovtsev (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-03-28 01:20:58 UTC
As discussed on the @gnome email thread, convincing upstream to include the macros in their source tarballs has overall been an unsuccessful effort, and now over 30 ebuilds are forced to on their own ship random versions of introspection.m4 in distfiles. I have therefore added gobject-introspection-common-1.32.0 to portage; it provides introspection.m4 and Makefile.introspection. Using gobject-introspection-common instead of gnome-common for introspection.m4 has a number of advantages: it keeps gnome-common from being a *runtime* dependency of gobject-introspection, plus, since introspection.m4 is now getting some development upstream, there is no chance of forgetting to bump the macros when bumping gobject-introspection.

Note that it might be useful to make gnome-common to rdepend on gtk-doc-am and gobject-introspection-common. Thoughts?

I don't have any special preference for any of that alternatives, not sure about the rest of the team :/
