It doesn't depend on libxml2 either...
yes it does
Where do it get the depency to libxml2 from? RDEPEND="virtual/libc virtual/libiconv" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} >=dev-util/pkgconfig-0.16 >=sys-devel/gettext-0.11 doc? ( >=dev-util/gtk-doc-1.4 ~app-text/docbook-xml-dtd-4.1.2 )" is from glib-2.14.5.ebuild And i did a sneak-peek on the inherit list. (not that it is very relativt to the bugreport.. I can find libxml2 via system packages when I do emerge -epvt glib, but not a direct depency line)
why are you looking at the glib ebuild ? we're talking about gettext which lists libxml2 in its DEPEND.
never mind :-p me bad. Just ignore the noise from me.
hmm, i was going by the libraries that gettext links against (scanelf -qRn) to verify it was using the system libxml2 and not its internal one ... but i think this is just another case of a poorly written configure script where it checks headers and libraries and then looks at the results ... so if no headers are found, it assumes no external support, but it doesnt bother clearing out the discovered library values ...
I just looked at the the macro at gettext-0.17/gettext-tools/gnulib-m4/libxml.m4 It tries to inlude libxml2/libxml/xmlversion.h without setting up -I/usr/include/libxml2 However, if the text suceeds, it generates the proper include path and stores it in $gl_cv_INCXML.
hrm, it looks and smells like gnulib, but upstream gnulib doesnt actually provide any xml stuff the comments say they ignore .pc/-config scripts on purpose for cross-compiling and such, but i think that's hogwash ... they do attempt #include <libxml2/libxml/xmlversion.h> should should succeed ...
This has meanwhile be reported on the gettext bug tracker: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?22831 The workaround is to add -I/usr/include/libxml2 to the CPPFLAGS before/while running configure.
would that be possible to drop the external libxml dependency and use gettext-provided one? ive no need for xml library at all yet gettext pulls one. cheers
gettext uses xml2 which means you have a package that needs it
should be fixed with gettext-0.18. no plans on fixing older versions.
