Bug 316853 – app-text/xiphos-3.1.3 fails to compile w/ xulrunner

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Peter Fox 2010-04-23 21:48:34 UTC]

I wonder if this is the same as bug 213379.

I'll attach a build log as it is rather long. The last few lines are:

Buildin xiphos-3.1.2 is fine.

Failing build log

This is the build log showing the build failure

[Comment 2 Nico R. 2010-05-03 14:08:33 UTC]

No, this is a different bug than bug 213379.

This bug is about prtypes.h not being found. That header is part of dev-libs/nspr, and is installed to /usr/include/nspr/, so probably something like adding -I/usr/include/nspr to CPPFLAGS can work around the problem.

Patch for the ebuild to add an include directory

This patch works for me, app-text/xiphos-3.1.3 compiles now on my system.

Maintainers, please verify this patch, as I am quite sure that it properly works around the problem, but I assume that it is not a proper fix. Thanks.

[Comment 4 Dmitrijs Ledkovs 2010-05-12 21:55:34 UTC]

Please commit this fix. It is correct!

On other linux distributions this additonal -I/usr/incude/nspr is added to all all libxul*.pc files and we have been relying on that. This additional include directory is not added in the libxul*.pc on gentoo.

I have now committed to xiphos svn a fix to check explicitly for nspr and and always include those nspr headers. So next xiphos release will just work =)

Also note that xiphos-3.1.3 is the last release which supports automake buildsystem. We have switched to waf and working waf configuration is included in xiphos-3.1.3.

Please change your ebuild to use waf build system. in short it's

./waf configure --prefix=/usr
./waf build
./waf install

For further information you can contact me via xiphos mailinglist ([e-mail])
