Description Michael Dominic K. 2005-03-15 16:52:39 UTC
Not really sure about this one. 
It looks like Mozilla ebuild installs the /usr/lib/mozilla/include in a non-standard layout. 
Check this on gnome bugs:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170402

[cite]
Mozilla installs those 2 headers into /usr/lib/mozilla/include instead of
.../include/necko, so that's where we look for them. It seems gentoo installs
mozilla headers in non-standard locations; that seems to be a distribution bug
to me. Note that up to mozilla 1.7a (or was it 1.7b), those headers were indeed
installed in necko/ (iirc), so it seems the gentoo build wasn't updated accordingly?
[/cite]

I stumbled on that while trying to compile epiphany-extenstions 1.6.0 (not from portage).

A quick look at the ebuild shows that we're copying files exactly as their placed by the Mozilla build system:

	# Copy the include and idl files
	dodir /usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/include/idl /usr/include
	cd ${S}/dist
	cp -LfR include/* ${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/include
	cp -LfR idl/* ${D}/usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/include/idl
	dosym /usr/$(get_libdir)/mozilla/include /usr/include/mozilla

I will investigate this further however.

Mozilla is dead upstream and will be removed from portage.
