Bug 334533 – games-misc/xcowsay-1.2 fails to compile w/ USE=-dbus

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Andre 2010-08-26 08:55:06 UTC]

When emerging games-misc/xcowsay-1.2 w/ USE=-dbus, compilation fails (see below).
dbus and dbus-glib are installed on the system.
Particularly, the build fails due to not finding dbus-glib-bindings.h.
The file actually _is_ installed, but I guess the build should not 
require it in the first place. 

Emerging the package w/ dbus enabled works. 

When you need more info, please ask.

The error message:
