Bug 61937 – procps does not include install the include files from ${workdir}/${P}/proc

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Josh 2004-08-27 08:46:07 UTC]

I've noticed that gentoo does not install the .h files for libproc from the procps package in the /usr/include/proc directory. This can create some problems when one wants to build something that uses libproc ;) 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Untar the procps package, say to your working directory
2. ls procps-(something)/proc/*.h
3. now ... ls /usr/include/proc/*.h

Actual Results:  
The first ls does the "right thing". The second ls outputs ...
ls: /usr/include/proc/*.h: No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
I guess you're getting tired of me saying this, but everything matching
${workdir}/${P}/proc/*.h should be in /usr/include/proc

Sorry I forgot this .... this is for version 3.1.15, although I suspect it's the same for other versions as well ...

Created attachment 38817 [details, diff]
diff to include the headers

This is a patch to the procps-3.1.15.ebuild that installs the include files for
libproc in /usr/include/proc/ so one can build programs that use libproc.

Isn't that patch reversed?

Applying reversed.

Fixed in 3.2.3-r1, will move that to stable as soon as I can.
