Bug 77880 – libmng doesn't compile against lcms, even though it DEPENDs on it

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Leverton 2005-01-13 12:25:52 UTC]

libmng versions 1.0.4, 1.0.5, 1.0.7 and 1.0.8 DEPEND on the lcms library, but they don't actually compile against it.  This happens because they expect lcms.h, but the header file is present as lcms/lcms.h.  The ebuilds already patch against the source file that includes it, but not the part of configure that checks whether it is present - as a result, it doesn't get as far as trying to include the header file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge libmng, any of the versions mentioned above.
2a. Watch the output from configure for messages about lcms.h
2b. When it has compiled, run "ldd /usr/lib/libmng.so"

Actual Results:  
2a. configure says that lcms.h is not present.
2b. libmng.so is not linked against liblcms.so

Expected Results:  
2a. configure should find lcms.h (actually lcms/lcms.h)
2b. libmng.so should be linked against liblcms.so

Patches coming....

I should point out that more recent versions of lcms-1.13.ebuild fix this bug within LCMS. I'm a little surprised the r-version wasn't bumped.

This should be fixed in libmng-1.0.8-r1
