[Description Jeff Harwell 2010-08-18 17:34:09 UTC]

net-libs/libjingle-0.3.12 fails to emerge.  It throws an error in the installation phase saying "/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/libjingle-0.3.12/image//usr/include/libjingle-0.3/talk/base/host.h' with `host.h'"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge =net-libs/libjingle-0.3.12


Expected Results:  
The package should have compiled and installed.

After a successful compilation emerge outputs the following

[Comment 1 Jeff Harwell 2010-08-18 17:39:02 UTC]

It looks like the problem is in libjingle-0.3.12/talk/base/Makefile.am.  When defining the variable $(libjinglebase_include_HEADERS) on line 37 the file host.h is included twice.  When I remove the second entry for host.h the ebuild compiles and installs successfully.  I have created a patch for the ebuild and tested it successfully on my computer.  I will attach the patch to this bug report.

Created attachment 243469 [details, diff]
Patch for libjingle-0.3.12 to fix "will not overwrite ... host.h" problem during installation.

Proposed patch to fix the following error on install:
/usr/bin/install: will not overwrite just-created `/var/tmp/portage/net-libs/libjingle-0.3.12/image//usr/include/libjingle-0.3/talk/base/host.h' with `host.h'

Removed from tree. Fails also to compile with stable OpenSSL:

openssladapter.cc: In member function 'bool cricket::OpenSSLAdapter::SSLPostConnectionCheck(SSL*, const char*)':
openssladapter.cc:644:57: error: invalid conversion from 'const X509V3_EXT_METHOD*' to 'X509V3_EXT_METHOD*'
