Bug 98223 – libgtop-2.0 lacks glibtop/open.h after installation

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description Konrad Karczewski 2005-07-07 08:12:43 UTC]

In the libgtop-2.10.0 and libgtop-2.10.1 the file libgtop-2.0/glibtop/open.h
doesn't get installed - it's present in the original package (in include/glibtop
dir) but it does not go into the /usr/include/libgtop-2.0/glibtop during the
installation. I suspect this is a problem with the original package but
nevertheless it would be nice to have it fixed in the ebuild - simple 'cp' suffices 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge libgtop
2.
3.

Same problem here, I discovered it when compiling wmforkplop by hand. I'm
surprised other apps using libgtop don't complain about that...

is it external API ?

libgtop is not API stable, so different versions might have different behaviour
regarding installed headers.

[Comment 3 Konrad Karczewski 2005-07-15 07:16:29 UTC]

This one has been there since libgtop 1.x and contains loads of defines used
elsewhere. Imho it should be there but I suppose Gentoo Gnome Team has contacts
within Gnome development team which may tell whether it's this way or the other.

Comment in changelog regarding this change "Don't install private headers.".
Altough he overlooked at least one other header file.

crap, i can't compile GTop perl module because of this...

[Comment 6 Mike Gardiner (RETIRED) 2005-09-29 09:40:15 UTC]

Maintainer's has decided not to expose the public API's, you'll need to use an
older version of libgtop for them it seems.
