Bug 68146 – uudeview 0.5.20 doesn't install lib and headers

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Dirk Heinrichs 2004-10-19 06:51:33 UTC]

I tried to create an ebuild for klibido, which needs libuu from uudeview. Unfortunately, make install of the uudeview package doesn't install uudeview.h and libuu.a automatically. So I had to enhance the ebuild to do so.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge uudeview

Actual Results:  
/usr/include/uudeview.h and /usr/lib/libuu.a are not installed. 

Expected Results:  
The files above should have been installed. 

I added the following lines to the src_install() function: 
 
cd ${S}/uulib 
insinto /usr/include 
doins uudeview.h 
dolib.a libuu.a 
cd -

dev-libs/uulib provides the header and library.

OK, thanx. But why two ebuilds for one package?

I first thought about it, but as it's only a static library it's only needed for
compile time and we can save the time to compile the complete uudeview utilities
when only libuu is needed. uudeview is linked static against the included libuu
and we don't need to pollute the users system with a static lib that would get
installed with the command line utilities.

Well it turns out there are some kde applications that use libuu and expect to see the library and header files included.

And that are which packages?
