Description Daniel Vrátil 2016-02-01 12:12:03 UTC
Description of problem:

Currently it's not possible to use CMake to find libical (using CMake config files, i.e. via find_package(LibIcal ....) command), because the package is missing static libraries:

CMake Error at /usr/lib64/cmake/LibIcal/LibIcalTargets.cmake:76 (message):
  The imported target "ical-static" references the file

     "/usr/lib64/libical.a"

  but this file does not exist.  Possible reasons include:

  * The file was deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.

  * An install or uninstall procedure did not complete successfully.

  * The installation package was faulty and contained

     "/usr/lib64/cmake/LibIcal/LibIcalTargets.cmake"

  but not all the files it references.


Since libical is built with static libraries enabled, the generated CMake config files are referencing the libical-static target. Because CMake verifies all imported targets, the configuration fails because the files are not found.

There should either be libical-static subpackage with the static files or if you really don't want to build the static files you must pass -DSHARED_ONLY=TRUE to CMake to disable the static libraries. It will also make sure the generated CMake config files don't reference the libical-static target anymore.

* Mon Feb 01 2016 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 2.0.0-4
- %%build: -DSHARED_ONLY=TRUE (#1303598)

Comment 2 Rex Dieter 2016-02-01 12:58:30 UTC
oops, looks like f23 is needed too, re-opening

Comment 3 Rex Dieter 2016-02-01 12:59:29 UTC
nevermind, looks like bug had wrong version, re-closing (marking rawhide).

Comment 4 Milan Crha 2016-02-01 13:07:00 UTC
Event with disabled static libraries, looking into the installed cmake files I see that LibIcalConfig.cmake still references static parts partly:

> # Temporary, will be removed once issue#87 is fixed
> set(LibIcal_STATIC_LIBRARIES ical-static icalss-static icalvcal-static)

The other files are free of the 'static' when built with SHARED_ONLY. I'm unsure whether SHARED_ONLY=true will be sufficient for your build in this case (aka should there be added also a patch which will remove the above quoted lines to make it work properly?).

Comment 5 Rex Dieter 2016-02-01 13:10:27 UTC
simply setting a variable should be mostly harmless, unless... is LibIcal_STATIC_LIBRARIES actually used anywhere else?  (if not, it's fine)

Comment 6 Rex Dieter 2016-02-11 13:24:36 UTC
I was right, we did need this fixed for f23 too (I just hit FTBFS), doing so now.
