The clanlib 0.7.7 ebuild installs the pkgconfig files in /usr/lib/clanlib-0.7.7/pkgconfig which has the effect that pkgconfig can't find them by default. Another problem is that clanlib doesn't put the custom libdir into the .pc files which makes them unusable (I already reported that to clanlib devs). Maybe some patch should change the .pc.in files in clanlib to look like this: ... prefix=@prefix@ exec_prefix=@exec_prefix@ libdir=@libdir@ includedir=@includedir@ ...
Additonal note: The header files are installed in /usr/include/ClanLib-0.7.7 while typicall ClanLib apps expect them in /usr/include/ClanLib-0.7.7/Clanlib.
The header part is seems correct to me. I believe most clanlib apps will include header files like this: #include <ClanLib/gui.h> which works fine since clanlib-config fixes things up with a symlink. Odd that the pkg-config stuff is messed up, but since the libraries and header files are installed by default in the standard place (ie /usr/include and /usr/lib) I guess things just work at the moment.
typical ClanLib apps dont perform any checks, that's the problem they blindly include ClanLib/<file> clanlib-config was created to create the correct symlink from /usr/include/ClanLib to /usr/include/ClanLib-<VERSION> and library symlinks in /usr/lib/clanlib-<VERSION> to /usr/lib/ ... although the .pc files showing up in /usr/lib/clanlib-<VERSION> is not correct ... the problem is we still have games in portage that work with clanlib-0.6.5 and not 0.7.x so we cant just install with prefix=/usr and hope that the pkgconfig stuff takes care of it for us
i'm all for redoing the clanlib stuff completely ... my proposal is this: stop screwing around with clanlib-0.7.x ... let it install 'normally' ... force clanlib-0.6.x into version specific directories and then patch the few games that still rely on 0.6.x to find the files in the right spot ... what i'll need is: a list of all games that use clanlib and the versions they need ... someone post a list for me ?
games-action/clanbomber games-arcade/methane games-puzzle/pingus games-sports/trophy They all claim to need =dev-games/clanlib-0.6.5*
Please note that the 0.6.x ebuild is broken too, see 52509 Too bad that no one seems to maintain the clanlib ebuilds anymore.
everything is maintained, just on developers free time, so dont give us a hardtime over it :P *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 52509 ***
