Bug 26443 – kmymoney2 compile fails on emerge and manual compile from official source

• Product: [OLD] Docs-developer
• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

[Description Clark Torgerson 2003-08-11 18:45:22 UTC]

KMyMoney2 keeps failing during the compile process after a simple

emerge kmymoney2


However, this also occurs when I manually tried to compile the source directly
off the app's homepage. The error occurs quite a ways into the compile process
and seems to involve libxml, which the emerge process installed (libxml2) as a
dep for kmymoney2.

This is the error I received on both attempts:


g++: /usr/lib/libxml++.a: No such file or directory
make[3]: *** [kmymoney2] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/kmymoney2-0.5.1/work/kmymoney2-0.5.1/kmymoney2'

!!! ERROR: app-office/kmymoney2-0.5.1 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 137, Exitcode 2

I've also attempted to compile the CVS version, which results in the same error.

Not a doc's bug..
reassigned to bug-wranglers

DO you have libxml2 and libxmlpp installed on your system? 
 
Maybe a reemerge of those packages will help? 

[Comment 3 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-08-12 09:03:16 UTC]

You don't happen to have the static use flag set do you? 
 
Did you have it set when you emerged libxml? 
 
What do you see when do you an ls /usr/lib/libxml* 

[Comment 4 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2003-08-27 19:07:07 UTC]

Guessing you may have some older libxml++ floating around.  I'd recommend deleting /usr/
lib/libxml++* and then reemerging libxmlpp 
 
a run of /sbin/fix_libtool_files.sh may help too

Turns out to be because of weird code in kmymoney's configure taken from what is probably old version of libxml++.m4. It doesn't add `xml++-config --libs` to LDFLAGS but instead extracts library path from xml++-config's output and then adds  $(this_extracted_path)/libxml++.a to LDFLAGS. dev-cpp/libxmlpp contains /usr/lib/libxml++-0.1.a, so this fails. Running aclocal && autoconf before configure would fix it, but I can't make it work:

configure.in:130: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest
autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.in:130: the top level
autom4te-2.58: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1

So I modified the ebuild to patch configure instead and now it works. Can the patch please be applied to Portage?
