Bug 692322 – media-video/mkvtoolnix-35.0.0 uses internal copy of dev-libs/utfcpp

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2019-08-17 02:04:13 UTC]

ac/utf8cpp.m4 would not detect system version of dev-libs/utfcpp and would fall back to internal version of this library.
https://gitlab.com/mbunkus/mkvtoolnix/blob/master/ac/utf8cpp.m4


Probably 'append-cxxflags -I/usr/include/utf8cpp' or something similar is needed.

[Comment 1 Jouni Kosonen 2019-08-17 09:10:26 UTC]

I have this in my mkvtoolnix build log:

> checking utf8.h usability... yes
> checking utf8.h presence... yes
> checking for utf8.h... yes
> configure: Using the system version of UTF8-CPP

Could it be because I had dev-libs/utfcpp-2.3.4 instead of utfcpp-3.1?

[Comment 2 Jouni Kosonen 2019-08-17 10:10:27 UTC]

utfcpp-2.3.4 has /usr/include/utf8.h so of course it works with that.

With utfcpp-3.1 I get
> checking utf8.h usability... no
> checking utf8.h presence... no
> checking for utf8.h... no
> configure: Using the internal version of UTF8-CPP
and 

> conftest.cpp:71:10: fatal error: utf8.h: No such file or directory
in the config.log too.
