Description Bernardo Costa 2012-02-12 09:16:17 UTC
The build system of nmap is flexible to allow the possibility of building all dependencies from the .tar bundle. Unfortunately, nsock/src/Makefile.in has 

-I ../../libpcap

hardcoded on it.

As gentoo forces the dependency on libpcap, there is no point in this include. This should probably be upstreamed. Meanwhile, I have made a .patch to remove the offending part of the line, and the result builds correctly and a local-network + scanme.nmap.org OS scan / -A -T4 still works (I have no more computers to test).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge nmap

Actual Results:  
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -c -I../../nbase -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -DNSOCK_VERSION=\"0.02\" -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -I../include -I../../libpcap -O2 -march=native -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall   nsock_pcap.c -o nsock_pcap.o

I don't see how this would be triggered unless net-libs/libpcap isn't installed.
