Description Konrad Karczewski 2005-07-07 08:12:43 UTC
In the libgtop-2.10.0 and libgtop-2.10.1 the file libgtop-2.0/glibtop/open.h
doesn't get installed - it's present in the original package (in include/glibtop
dir) but it does not go into the /usr/include/libgtop-2.0/glibtop during the
installation. I suspect this is a problem with the original package but
nevertheless it would be nice to have it fixed in the ebuild - simple 'cp' suffices 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge libgtop
2.
3.
Comment 1 Mathieu MB 2005-07-13 13:59:26 UTC
Same problem here, I discovered it when compiling wmforkplop by hand. I'm
surprised other apps using libgtop don't complain about that...
Comment 2 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-13 15:47:07 UTC
is it external API ?

libgtop is not API stable, so different versions might have different behaviour
regarding installed headers.
Comment 3 Konrad Karczewski 2005-07-15 07:16:29 UTC
This one has been there since libgtop 1.x and contains loads of defines used
elsewhere. Imho it should be there but I suppose Gentoo Gnome Team has contacts
within Gnome development team which may tell whether it's this way or the other.
Comment 4 foser (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-07-23 06:47:30 UTC
Comment in changelog regarding this change "Don't install private headers.".
Altough he overlooked at least one other header file.
Comment 5 Ilia Lobsanov 2005-08-17 09:55:44 UTC
crap, i can't compile GTop perl module because of this...
Comment 6 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-09-29 09:40:15 UTC
Maintainer's has decided not to expose the public API's, you'll need to use an
older version of libgtop for them it seems.
