Bug 643568 – sys-cluster/keepalived-1.4.0 fails to build: configure: error: unable to find json-c/json.h

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Tomáš Mózes 2018-01-05 15:42:29 UTC]

Without dev-libs/json-c it fails to build. For example I don't need it, so can we please make it optional?

Fixed, added json USE flag (off by default), my apologizes mate

Thank you :)

[Comment 3 Tomáš Mózes 2018-01-05 16:53:51 UTC]

We should rebuild keepalived when json-c changes slot (as was the case with 0.13 version bump).

[Comment 4 Ultrabug 2018-01-05 18:00:36 UTC]

You're right and my multitasking is bad, thanks for bearing with me, ebuild updated
