Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try emerging quile-gnome-platform

Actual Results:  
Fails

Expected Results:  
Succeeds

If I enter the following, then the package builds:

export C_INCLUDE_PATH="/usr/lib64/libffi-3.0.10/include"

I have no idea if this is a problem specific to my system.  I did emerge dev-libs/libffi to try to fix this, but that did not help.

[Comment 1 Mike Gilbert 2011-10-23 04:54:03 UTC]

Please provide emerge --info and attach the full build log.

[Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2011-10-23 23:13:52 UTC]

proper fix:

dev-libs/g-wrap needs to provide pkg-config file so guile-gnome-platform can get the cflags from `pkg-config --cflags g-wrap` or similar to get the ffi include directory inherited where it should

workaround:

inherit flag-o-matic toolchain-funcs

followed by

append-flags $($(tc-getPKG_CONFIG) --cflags-only-I libffi) 

to guile-gnome-platform's ebuild, and virtual/libffi to it's depends

Hi Blake, which g-wrap version have you installed?

[Comment 6 Blake Leverett 2011-10-25 16:12:55 UTC]

> Hi Blake, which g-wrap version have you installed?

[I] dev-libs/g-wrap
     Available versions:  1.9.11 ~1.9.13
     Installed versions:  1.9.11(12:53:53 PM 09/28/2011)
     Homepage:            http://www.nongnu.org/g-wrap/
     Description:         A tool for exporting C libraries into Scheme

[Comment 7 FrankTheTank 2011-10-31 13:42:36 UTC]

I had the same proble.
Switching to g-wrap-1.9.13 solved the problem for me.

[Comment 8 Thomas Kohler 2011-11-07 17:03:59 UTC]

Same problem here - fixed with:
emerge --oneshot libffi
emerge --oneshot g-wrap

[Comment 9 Rick Jenkins 2012-02-06 23:38:01 UTC]

This is still a problem. It would be readily fixed by marking dev-libs/g-wrap-1.9.13 stable.
