Bug 3853 – media-libs/imlib fails to compile

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Peter Simons 2002-06-18 13:00:16 UTC]

I tried to emerge media-libs/imlib, but the configure stage fails with the error
message:

 | checking for jpeglib.h... no

What is weird because the header file is clearly there and I can include it from
other programs just fine. My guess is that the configure script that comes with
the library is broken and needs to be patched.

[Comment 1 Peter Simons 2002-06-18 13:05:15 UTC]

I found the problem: I compile the package with gcc 3.1, which issues the
following warning during the configure stage:

 | cpp0: warning: changing search order for system directory "/usr/X11R6/include"
 | cpp0: warning:   as it has already been specified as a non-system directory

This is interpreted as failure by the configure script, thus it doesn't find the
any of the header files, though they're clearly there.

matt: another gcc-3 issue for you

[Comment 3 Matthew Kennedy (RETIRED) 2002-07-29 07:09:28 UTC]

i can't reproduce this with gcc3.2pre and i'm pretty sure i didn't see it with
gcc3.1 (since this machine was boostrapped with gcc3.1). Can you tell me more
about your config?

I cant reproduce this either. Can anyone?

Can't reproduce it either, closing.

I'm also getting errors.  I tried to troubleshoot for a while, but didn't get too far.  If you just type ./configure and make, it builds just fine, but then it will not be recognized by the emerge dependency system?  Don't know.
