Bug 405645 – gnome-base/libbonoboui-2.24.5 fails compiling due to missing avahi

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Juan Manuel Santos 2012-02-24 18:57:35 UTC]

Due to an old program which doesn't support Qt4, I am forced to keep Qt3 on my system. Since Qt3 no longer compiles with avahi, and since avahi can't coexist with anything else (e.g. mDNSresponder), I disabled avahi/zeroconf useflags in all my packages. Everything works fine (I didn't use avahi anyway), but trying to build libbonoboui (required by libgnomeui) fails:

gnome-vfs is compiled without avahi support, however when its libs are called by libbonoboui, it seems that it keeps thinking it has avahi support.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Disable avahi/zeroconf USE flags
2. emerge -vatuDN world
3. Try to rebuild/install libbonoboui
Actual Results:  
libbonoboui fails complaining it cannot find avahi

Expected Results:  
Should compile fine if everything avahi-related is disabled

I have looked at libbonoboui ebuild and source directory. There is nothing avahi-related on that package, so it seems the call to avahi may be coming from gnome-vfs. I put libbonoboui on the subject because it's the package that fails (gnome-vfs compiles fine without avahi USE).

[Comment 1 Pacho Ramos 2012-02-24 19:15:02 UTC]

Probably old .la files, try:
grep avahi /usr/lib/*.la

and try re-emerging packages providing that files.

[Comment 2 Juan Manuel Santos 2012-02-24 23:52:46 UTC]

Found /usr/lib/libgnome-2.la. Rebuilt libgnome and libbonoboui compiled fine. Marking this as resolved - fixed. Thanks a lot!
