Bug 432976 – net-libs/telepathy-logger-qt-0.5.0: fails to build with >=dev-libs/boost-1.50.0-r2

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Alex Turbov 2012-08-27 14:26:34 UTC]

telepathy-logger-qt doesn't use boost directly, but via qt-gstreamer which is use some header-only boost libraries.

Reproducible: Always

Please attach the build.log and your `emerge --info` output

Pong!

forget it! I've done the job while you are waited...

so, first of all, as I told before, qt-gstreamer uses some boost header-obly libs, but does not provides an #include dir for them as a dependency in it's .pc files, so later telepathy-logger-qt, using cmake's pkg_check_modules (in cmake/modules/FindQtGLib.cmake), can't properly detect losted (implicit) dependency from boost. (so here is a patch #1 for it)

but this is a half of the problem. unfortunately FindQtGLib.cmake too stupid also, and after using pkg_check_modules, which would returns everything required for success compilation, it just ignore it's output and tried to redetect (in a stupid way) #include dir again (as well as libraries). so it is why here is the patch #2.

later, when I tried to compile kde-telepathy-meta, I've found another one package w/ the same problem: net-im/ktp-text-ui (see patch #3)

Hello all,

boost-1.52.0-r6 is likely going stable anytime soon, but this bug is even still open in ~arch. Please consider whether the package is dead and should just be removed.

Thanks,
Diego

What is the status here? It builds for me fine with boost-1.52.0-r6.

[Comment 13 Tomáš Chvátal (RETIRED) 2013-04-12 17:51:04 UTC]

This thing works with boost 1.50 on version 0.6.0 for sure (tested right now).

Removing from the blocker because something else must be there to break it.

Works for me too. No idea what it was. But seems fixed...
