Bug 565144 – media-gfx/exif and media-gfx/gphoto2 : configure fails to find popt on sys-libs/uclibc

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description René Rhéaume 2015-11-08 15:38:22 UTC]

Both packages have the same problem: on uclibc, configure does not find popt even when it is installed on system.

You must do POPT_CFLAGS="-I/usr/include" POPT_LIBS="-lpopt" econf ...
to get sucessfully configure the package. Then, the build can continue as usual.

It is similar to bug #474562 but note I passed different values to the environement variables, compared to that bug. A uclibc system is not multilib however. 

Also, popt now provides a pkgconfig file. Maybe the proper fix is to modify configure to look for popt through pkgconfig.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-gfx/exif media-gfx/gphoto2
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
econf failed

Expected Results:  
media-gfx/exif and media-gfx/gphoto2 installed on system

Please provide the complete build log and the output of emerge --info.

sys-libs/uclibc has been removed from the tree, replaced by sys-libs/uclibc-ng.  if this is still a problem on uclibc-ng, please open a new bug.
