Bug #6667: Package config does not include a reference to the /usr/include/x86_64-linux

• Status: Rejected

[mcpierce (Darryl Pierce)]

(this bug description is taken from the Fedora ticket about this issue: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=830234)

Description of problem:

There needs to be a reference in the package config file to the architecture-specific directory; i.e., /usr/include/x86_64-linux on 64bit systsems.

When trying to build using cmake, for example, the discovery portion only finds the reference to /usr/include. However, there are header files in /usr/include/x86_64-linux that are necessary but which are not being pointed to by the config file.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

mcpierce@mcpierce-laptop:~ $ rpm -q ruby-devel
ruby-devel-1.9.3.194-10.1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a cmake project that depends on Ruby.
2. Use the cmake command to generate Makefiles.
3. Use make to build.

Actual results:

The following results, which are due to pkgconfig not telling cmake about the platform-specific header location:

Scanning dependencies of target cqpid_ruby

Expected results:

Compilation to complete successfully.

A header location is decided by distros, not ruby project. Include path is decided from CMake, not ruby project. I don't think we can help you.

The problem turns out to have been in our Cmake build environment and not in the way it interacted with Ruby.

Of course for distribution, there is possible to use --with-rubyhdrdir configuration option to specify header location, but the arch specific header location is not in hands of distribution. This is "hardcoded" by Ruby. So why not publish it in packageconfig?
