Bug 61666 – paragui fails on sigc++ check in configure script (it's checking for the old version).

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Bryan Duff 2004-08-25 11:31:00 UTC]

Patch attached - changes the check from 'sigc++-1.2' to 'sigc++-2.0', nice little one liner... that doesn't solve the problem, then this lib borks while compiling, rather nastilly.  I'll attach that error as well; not sure if I should split it into another bug...

Note: *I altered the ebuild, so I'll post that too.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge paragui
2.error
3.no profit

Actual Results:  
checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking for sigc++-1.2 >= 1.2.5... Package sigc++-1.2 was not found in the
pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `sigc++-1.2.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'sigc++-1.2' found

configure: error: Library requirements (sigc++-1.2 >= 1.2.5) not met; consider
adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a
nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them.


Expected Results:  
go fast and win!

Created attachment 38187 [details, diff]
Patch to change configure check.

[Comment 2 Bryan Duff 2004-08-25 11:35:49 UTC]

Created attachment 38188 [details]
Revison of ebuild that incorporates patch.

added a few things, probably should be written differently, but neh.

[Comment 3 Bryan Duff 2004-08-25 11:38:07 UTC]

The other thought would be to install the older version of libsigc++, but I'm note sure what other progs depend on this package.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-08-25 17:50:42 UTC]

what if you `emerge '=libsigc++-1.2*' paragui` ?

[Comment 5 Bryan Duff 2004-08-25 18:44:25 UTC]

Yeah that works.  I guess I just like doing things the hard way... heh.

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2004-08-25 18:50:24 UTC]

libsigc++ 1.x and 2.x are SLOT-ed on purpose ... the APIs are incompatible :)

updated the DEPEND in paragui to be '=libsigc++-1.2*' instead of '>='
