Description Thomas Sondergaard 2017-08-18 08:17:49 UTC

Description of problem:
The file /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xmlrpc_client++.pc is not being created and installed by the meson build system. It is required when xmlrpc-c-config is called with arguments "client c++2":

$ /usr/bin/xmlrpc-c-config client c++2 --cflags
Package xmlrpc_client++ was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xmlrpc_client++.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
Package 'xmlrpc_client++', required by 'virtual:world', not found

xmlrpc-c's own Makefile-based build system creates this file. It appears to be an oversight in the meson based build system that Fedora has added.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xmlrpc-c-devel-1.48.0-4.fc26.x86_64

Additional info:
AFAIK, this problem was not present in the version shipped with Fedora 25.

Comment 1 Petr Pisar 2017-09-27 14:28:55 UTC

Also this is a problem when rebuilding xmlrpc-c (e.g. for modularity). xmlrpc-c-devel-1.48.0-7 then requires "pkgconfig(xmlrpc_utilpp)" but it does not provide it, so the package cannot be installed.

The build was fine with meson-0.41.2-2.fc27 and it is broken with meson-0.42.0-1.fc28.

Comment 2 Igor Gnatenko 2017-09-27 14:30:33 UTC

I will fix it.

Comment 13 Thomas Sondergaard 2017-10-11 11:52:13 UTC

The upgrade of xmlrpc-c-devel from 1.48.0-4.fc26 to 1.49.02-2.fc26 causes "/usr/bin/xmlrpc-c-config c++2 --cflags" to return empty rather than "-I/usr/include/". While this seems completely reasonable it breaks /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindXMLRPC.cmake as it requires the output of that command to be non-empty.

Comment 14 Thomas Sondergaard 2017-10-11 13:16:03 UTC

I've reported the bug in FindXMLRPC.cmake with the CMake project: https://gitlab.kitware.com/cmake/cmake/issues/17347
