Bug 17521 – sodipodi-0.31 ebuild failure (patch included)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Ben Cornett 2003-03-14 12:12:03 UTC]

Sodipodi-0.31 fails during the configure step.  The main problem is a failed
header check for Xft.h (which fails because it doesn't look for freetype.h under
/usr/include/freetype2/).  I also needed to add AC_PROG_RANLIB to configure.in
as well.  

I've attached sodipodi-0.31-r1.ebuild.diff and a source patch.  The latter
directly patches configure and other derived files, since otherwise autoconf and
automake would have to be run in the ebuild, which a don't think is you are
supposed to do (?).

Regards,

Ben

sodipodi-0.31 emerges and runs fine for me on ppc...

[Comment 5 Hanno Böck 2003-03-15 06:04:27 UTC]

sodipodi 0.31.1 is out. You should update the ebuild to this one.

[Comment 6 Alastair Tse (RETIRED) 2003-03-15 09:53:31 UTC]

i think the problem is with your setup rather than the sodipodi config.

can you paste the output of "emerge info" and what version of xfree, xft and freetype you are using?

Bryon,

Do you have an earlier version of freetype installed?  This is what I get when I emerge sodipodi-0.31

checking X11/Xft/Xft.h usability... no
checking X11/Xft/Xft.h presence... no
checking for X11/Xft/Xft.h... no
configure: error: --with-xft was specified, but appropriate development packages
 could not be found
 
!!! ERROR: media-gfx/sodipodi-0.31 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 273, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

configure dies because it does an AC_CHECK_HEADER for Xft.h, which fails because it can't #include<freetype/freetype.h> (under /usr/include/freetype2 on my system).  Perhaps an earlier version of freetype placed `freetype/freetype.h' directly under /usr/include, rather than under /usr/include/freetype2

I will try to find time this weekend to put together an ebuild for v0.31.1 and test it out.  Maybe this problem goes away in the new version.

Thanks,

Ben

A version bump to 0.31.1 fixes this bug.  No changes were required to the existing 0.31 ebuild beyond renaming it.


Thanks,

Ben

local problem it seems.
