[Oyranos-devel] Oyranos-0.9.6 and FreeBSD (libintl)

[Boris Samorodov]

Hi All,

I get the following at the configure stage:
[...]
-- Looking for libintl.h
-- Looking for libintl.h - not found
[...]

However, libintl is installed at the system:
---
% ls -l /usr/local/include/libintl.h
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 16654 Dec 10 04:41 /usr/local/include/libintl.h

% ls -l /usr/local/lib/libintl.*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 110318 Dec 10 04:41 /usr/local/lib/libintl.a
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Dec 10 04:41 /usr/local/lib/libintl.so
-> libintl.so.8.1.5
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 16 Dec 10 04:41
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8 -> libintl.so.8.1.5
-rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 55245 Dec 10 04:41
/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.8.1.5
---

Seems that the relevant checks do not look at /usr/local prefix:
---
CHECK_INCLUDE_FILE(libintl.h HAVE_LIBINTL_H)
FIND_LIBRARY( LIBINTL_LIBRARIES NAMES intl libintl libintl-8 )
IF(LIBINTL_LIBRARIES)
SET( EXTRA_LIBS ${EXTRA_LIBS} ${LIBINTL_LIBRARIES} )
SET( EXTRA_LIBS_CORE ${EXTRA_LIBS_CORE} ${LIBINTL_LIBRARIES} )
ELSE(LIBINTL_LIBRARIES)
MESSAGE( "-- libintl not found" )
ENDIF(LIBINTL_LIBRARIES)
---

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I believe to remember, there is the possibility to suggest paths for
library and include file search to the cmake macros.

If you are familiar with cmake, you could try yourself. Here is the docu:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/command/find_path.html

I am astound that the standard /usr/local prefix is not supported by
default in the search.

best regards
Kai-Uwe

OK, the following patch helped:

I used a strict match which may be too broad, but is enough for my case.

Well, yes. And the thing is that some libraries (not includes, i.e.
libcups.so) are got found. However, libiconv.so is not detected.
Weird.

Thank you!
