Hello, I maintain a few ports, between those there are gnokii and the ports package for obexapp, written by Maksim.
I already had to deal with the problem in the subject some time ago (PR ports/108428) and now that gnokii has sdp support PR ports/131778 has correctly been filed. As exlained in the PRs the problem is mpeg4ip is installing an sdp.h file and an libsdp.so library in /usr/local/(include|lib), which are preferred by the ports systems(especially the autotools) on the system ones breaking software build. The solution is doing jumps through hoops to make autotools and other pieces behave, hardcoding base system paths or the like. I could not find better ways. Whth gnokii right now I'm having big problems making libtool behave. I could try patching the system wide one to manage this situation, but I don't really understand it's internals, if anyone could point me in the right direction here that would be very appreciated. We could just fix the includes problem by moving one of the two sdp.h files in a subdirectory of include, but the libraries problem would remain. How should I act? Doing the hoop jumping is not a big problem to me, but in the future with more programs taking advantage of bluetooth/sdp functionality this problem will be even more frequent, and I don't think fixing every single case by hand to be a good solution. Could we try to find a system or ports wide solution? Sorry for the lenghty email, but I wanted to explain the situation fully. BTW should I also send a resume of this email to gnats for historic purposes? Thanks in advance for any help, opinions, revision or also confort on this. -- Guido Falsi <m...@madpilot.net> _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
