pkg-config incorrectly adds libxfce4ui to -I
Last modified: 2013-05-24 13:12:15 EDT
Description of problem: pkg-config adds libxfce4ui at the end of the -I cflag, thus breaking the common practice of #including <libxfce4ui/someheader.h>. As an example, xfce4-timer-plugin version 1.5.0 doesn't compile because of this: xfcetimer.c:41:35: error fatal: libxfce4ui/libxfce4ui.h: No existe el fichero o el directorio compilación terminada. make[2]: *** [xfce4_timer-xfcetimer.o] Error 1 Removing the libxfce4ui addy from libxfce4ui-1.pc makes it work. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libxfce4ui-devel-4.10.0-4.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: $ pkg-config --cflags libxfce4ui-1 -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1/libxfce4ui [...] vs. for instance $ pkg-config --cflags libxfce4panel-1.0 -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4panel-1.0 [...] Steps to Reproduce: $ pkg-config --cflags libxfceui-1 or compile a plugin that uses it like xfce4-timer-plugin 1.5.0. Expected results: $ pkg-config --cflags libxfce4ui-1 -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1 [...]
Created attachment 752047 [details] Fix for the pkg-config file
I'm not seeing this here: [root@sheelba ~]# rpm -q libxfce4ui-devel libxfce4ui-devel-4.10.0-4.fc18.x86_64 [root@sheelba ~]# pkg-config --cflags libxfce4ui-1 -pthread -I/usr/include/xfce4/libxfce4ui-1 ... Can you do a 'rpm -V libxfce4ui-devel' and check and make sure you don't have any locally compiled versions in /usr/local ?
My .pc file was modified to correct the cflags problem, so mtime is changed. Interestingly, the "fixed" size seems to be that of the package: $ rpm -V libxfce4ui-devel .......T. /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/libxfce4ui-1.pc $ rpm -V --nomtime libxfce4ui-devel So I don't understand how the libfxfce4ui addy came to my file. I haven't compiled libs in this machine, only a couple of plugins: $ ls /usr/local/include And, to the best of my knowledge, never modified any .pc file, besides for fixing this. I had no need to. The whole system (fedora 18 + xfce) was installed from scratch this April, the 24th.
Weird. well, from what I see the problem doesn't exist in the packaged version at all. You want to investigate some more? Or shall we close this out?
No idea what else to investigate. I think it can be closed.
