Bug 256076 – centerim-4.22.6-r1 and centerim-4.22.7 still wants fribidi-config which should be dropped in favor of pkg-config.

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Grégoire Favre 2009-01-23 11:49:42 UTC]

Compil fails because of the fribidi-config which doesn't exist anymore in dev-libs/fribidi-0.19.1

Have a look for example at http://www.nabble.com/fribidi-config-td17441318.html

Reproducible: Always

First problem can be fixed by patching ebuild, replacing src_unpack with something like this:

src_unpack() {
    default

    cd "${S}"
    sed -i \
        -e "s/fribidi-config/pkg-config fribidi/g" \
        -e "s/\$FRIBIDI_CONFIG --cflags/pkg-config fribidi --cflags/g" \
        -e "s/\$FRIBIDI_CONFIG --libs/pkg-config fribidi --libs/g" \
        configure \
        || die "sed failed"

    # Don't execute git commands, bug #228151
    cat >"${S}"/misc/git-version-gen <<-EOF
        #!/bin/sh
        echo -n "${PVR}"
    EOF
}

Unfortunately, that's not all - at least not with recent gcc (I'd say gcc >4.1 is a problem) - as you start getting errors like these:

i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../..  -I../../kkconsui/include -I../../kkstrtext  -Wno-write-strings -Os -mtune=c3-2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -frename-registers -I/usr/include/gpgme  -MT conscommon.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/conscommon.Tpo -c -o conscommon.o conscommon.cc

No time to follow this up right now - but maybe it helps someone to move on further.

It's strange, nobody on gentoo use centerim with a more or less recent gcc ?

[Comment 3 Andrea Grazioli 2009-03-06 19:49:49 UTC]

Created attachment 184166 [details, diff]
patch for fribidi_iso8859_8_to_unicode

For the fribidi_iso8859_8_to_unicode problem try this patch.

See also comment #1 for the configure problem.

Ciao

Works great here, thank you very much :-)

[Comment 5 Grégoire Favre 2009-06-06 20:37:12 UTC]

Will it be included into mainline ?

[Comment 6 Joost Ruis 2009-08-11 07:32:21 UTC]

..
checking whether to use fribidi... checking for fribidi-config... no
configure: error: *** fribidi-config not found

Adding myself to CC. (please fix it?)

[Comment 7 Jeremy Murphy 2010-09-08 14:13:01 UTC]

Was this bug fixed in recent versions of centerim or is it still an issue?  I.e., can we close this bug or get updated details on the issue?

[Comment 8 Martin Hajduch 2010-09-08 14:26:58 UTC]

I had no problems building net-im/centerim-4.22.9 -> so it seems to be fixed - at least on my system.
