On emerging gitg there appearer compilation error from vala compiler. Probably this error should be pass to gitg upstream for fixing file generation on build configuration. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have only net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.8.3 2. emerge =dev-vcs/gitg-3.16.1 Actual Results: Could not find GIR file 'WebKit2-3.0.gir'; check XDG_DATA_DIRS or use --includedir error parsing file Gitg-1.0.gir: Failed to parse included gir WebKit2-3.0 Makefile:5662: recipe for target 'Gitg-1.0.typelib' failed make[2]: *** [Gitg-1.0.typelib] Error 1 Expected Results: emerge pass smoothly It could be fixed setting proper version for WebKit2 in gitg gir file. Simple sed fixed the problems. sed -e 's/name="WebKit2" version="3.0"/name="WebKit2" version="4.0"/g' -i Gitg-1.0.gir
Please attach your complete build log and config.log The error you described in theory shouldn't happen unless you e.g. tried to install/uninstall webkit-2.8 and 2.6 while gitg is compiling.

Created attachment 410492 [details] build-log Error still exist. In attachment log from emerge gitg today without any others compilation. I thing there is problem around dependency discovery on build. Builds try to build with Webkit2-3 but in system vala there is only Webkit2-4.
This is a known upstream bug [1], which they've fixed in the unstable version. My attempts to backport the patch [2], haven't been successful (it seems to build the gir files in the wrong order), and I don't know enough about fixing autotools to get the gir files built in the correct order. I've therefore just patched the prebuilt Gir file for this version.
