Bug 294298 – net-im/indicator-messages depending non-existent 'indicate'

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David Warkentin 2009-11-23 21:00:18 UTC]

The configure stage of the build process for 'net-im/indicator-messages' is requiring "indicate >= 0.1.5" rather than "indicator-applet >= 0.1.5".  The build fails with the following messages:

checking for APPLET... configure: error: Package requirements (gtk+-2.0 >= 2.12
                          gio-unix-2.0 >= 2.18
                          indicate >= 0.1.5) were not met:

No package 'indicate' found

Fixed in net-im/indicator-messages-0.1.6 Please re open if needed.

I tried building again and realized that it's not a problem with a dependency on indicator-applet but rather the ebuild doesn't depend on 'dev-libs/libindicate' as it should.  I'll attach my modified ebuild in case it may be useful to anyone.

When I posted the initial bug report I hadn't really examined the issue closely enough to realize that libindicate provides the 'indicate.pc' file that pkg-config is looking for.  By adding ">=dev-libs/libindicate" to the RDEPEND list in the ebuild I get it to complete the configure stage correctly.

I now have another issue during the build process.  I get the following error(s):

.libs/libmessaging_la-im-menu-item.o: In function `im_menu_item_new':
im-menu-item.c:(.text+0x16a): undefined reference to `indicate_listener_get_property_icon'

Confirm, it now correctly depends on libindicate.
BUT it still fails to compile on ~amd64, see attachement for build.log.

This should be fixed in tree by now.
