Subject: [libglib-2.0-dev]: the location of glibconfig.h

Date: Sat, 14 Jan 2012 22:10:30 +0900

package: libglib-2.0-dev
version: 2.30.1-2
severity: wishlist

Hi,

 Some packages is FTBFSed that caused by changes in libglib-2.0-dev: it has 
 /usr/include/glib-2.0/glib/gtypes.h and it includes <glibconfig.h>. However, 
 this glibconfig.h is in /usr/lib/<DEB_HOST_MULTIARCH>/glib-2.0/include/glibconfig.h
 so it preventes some application to be built.

 Those below bugs can avoid glibconfig.h by adding it to /usr/include/glib-2.0/
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652165
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652169
 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=652173

 I'm not sure if this header file should be under /usr/include/glib-2.0 or not,
 but if there is, it helps to solve those problems I guess.

Reassigning to libglib2.0-dev as a typo fix, but as explained below I
don't think libglib2.0-dev should be changed here.

That means that those packages are buggy.

  $ pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
  -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/glib-2.0/include

If you make that change, you'll break multiarch cross-building using
GLib.  The packages that fail to set the correct include path should be
fixed instead.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi Hideki,

as was already mentioned by Colin, 3rd party apps need to properly set
CFLAGS to use glib2.0. The easiest and recommended way to do this is to
use pkg-config.

Closing, as not-a-bug.

Cheers,
Michael
