Someone, please fix the cooking version.
I cannot build any more or less big package (now trying to update Firefox to v17).
Keep getting messages about missing header files like this:
../../../dist/system_wrappers/glib.h:3:23: fatal error: glib.h: No such file or directory
Software is looking for them in /usr/include/ , but actually exist in /usr/include/$pkgname/ (/usr/include/glib-2.0/glib.h for example).
Any ideas?

Hi devl547,
First of all, it's problem NOT with dev-packages containing headers.
There are many placements of headers in various packages:
/usr/include/glib-2.0
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
...
How to deal with this? Here is *.pc files: http://pkgs.slitaz.org/search.sh?file=/usr/lib/pkgconfig/
RTFM pkg-config. Instead of "man pkg-config" I can say you only "pkg-config --help".
See hint in my receipt here (line 3.22).
I've got many and many errors like you: "... ... .h: No such file or directory"
Add pkg-config to build-depends.
Add line in compile_rules() before ./configure:
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $(pkg-config --cflags space_separated_list_of_packages)"It's not names of dev-packages, actually it's names of "/usr/lib/pkgconfig/***.pc" files.
Here example:
Package glib-dev in Cooking contains files:
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/glib-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-export-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gmodule-no-export-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gobject-2.0.pc
/usr/lib/pkgconfig/gthread-2.0.pcIf I need gobject as depend, I can write:
CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $(pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0)"Or, in other words:
# pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
-I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
# pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include
# pkg-config --cflags gtksourceview-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/gtksourceview-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/
gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -
I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/us
r/include/libpng12Mix together cflags for two packages:
# pkg-config --cflags gtksourceview-2.0 glib-2.0
-pthread -I/usr/include/gtksourceview-2.0 -I/usr/include/libxml2 -I/usr/include/
gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/cairo -
I/usr/include/gdk-pixbuf-2.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I
/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/us
r/include/libpng12

It's a problem with cooker. It needs to add include dirs by inself.
> I can write: CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $(pkg-config --cflags gobject-2.0)"
We already have BUILD_DEPENDS. Why do we need to write additional code in receipts?
Also, I have never seen this problem in good old Slitaz 2.0/3.0 times.

Nope. It's NOT problem with cooker. It's really problem with source codes.
Ol' good days?? Yes, the programmers have moved away from the business. Students came. Broke the codes. ☺
Please, see history of firefox's receipt: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/log/804f06c0e28f/firefox/receipt
Where you see just "./configure && make && make install"??
For example, your last firefox commit (for ver. 8.0): http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/3d98b947aef3/firefox/receipt
112 lines of code ☺
Latest receipt: http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/file/6aa501a7751e/firefox/receipt
Two patches and two seds before ./configure.
Really, I think it would be nice if you told the Firefox authors about their garbage code.
> Dear all, your configure script not see my headers.
> How to repeat? Download & unzip tarball; install {list of dev pkgs}; run ./configure && make.
Alexander, I did not want to hurt you. And I do not want to engage in polemics. I showed a simple solution as not changing the ./configure script itself force to make it work. If you want to teach cooker magic, I'll be very happy ☺ Then all the recipes will be very simple.
By the way, show me Gentoo "receipt" for firefox (sorry, it is called "ebuild"?) Maybe we will find some interesting solutions?

I think, here it is: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/www-client/firefox/firefox-10.0.11.ebuild?hideattic=0&revision=1.6&view=markup
Latest ebuild (25 hours ago) for firefox (ver. 10.0.11).
I'm not Gentoo user, even not try it never. I know only that this is the great way to compile sources to fit own system.
No. This ebuild not the solution for SliTaz receipt…
Search for LFS (Linux From Scratch) "receipt"? Probably not.
Anyway, last Firefoxes is too slow for my machine and I use them (in my daily surfing) about a year ago.
Old good Fx3.6! ☺ Without 3D source viewer, without WebGL and many many stuff that I not need anytime… I am sorry only that there is no equivalent for Scratchbook in Midori.

Maybe just make a receipt that packs the upgradable and stand-alone version provided by Mozilla. Then it's just a simple act of upgrading to get the latest working version.

Hi Trixar,
Yes, I think we can handle both firefox and get-firefox packages on wok. Do you want to work under get-firefox receipt?

A get-firefox package would be a little difficult to create since it requires the modification of the /usr/bin/firefox script to point to the right directory (probably in /usr/lib/firefox), placement of the icons and the creation of the shortcut for the menu. Once those are done the rest would be easy. You can either have a package that fetches the source off the internet or have a package created from it by just placing the files in the right place. Cooker should be able to deal with both.

nvm, I have already built ff17 manually, looks like we just need to add some more tweaks to the receipt.
> If you want to teach cooker magic
If you are right and fixing headers needs just "CFLAGS="$CFLAGS $(pkg-config --cflags pkgname-x.y)", then it's simple.
P.S. Guys, I know that using cooking is my main fault. But we need to clean it up sooner or later.

True, we all need to deal with cooking's issues if we hope to release SliTaz 5 on time next year. I'll only be able to deal with issues I can see myself, much like how I fixed ppp after forcing myself to use RC1.

Trixar_za, I want to fix some issues and do some serious version bumps.
But I need two things:
1. Stable cooker (no matter where the header problem is located)
2. Some time (And I have it)

;) Google Translator was here. I've used it to create some phrases. All these English verb times, past perfect and past indefinite...
The best cooker, as I see it, should ask you only source URL :|
We can use large Debian base for filling ShortDesc and WebSite. Analizing URL it's no hard to determine Tarball and method of source fetching (SF mirror, git, Hg, etc).
I can't say any automotion about compile rules, but at least, it's not hard to show configure optional keys.
Building package rules most simple. Copy all but dev files, man & info, locale files. If dev files exists, then create dev-package. Man- and locale-package at your taste.
Now stripping, and auto depend list. I've created script to fill Depends in receipt. But it works only with regular (C/C++) apps. I can't deal with Python depends.
We have simple and not so useful interactive mode in cook. I think we can write many improvements to it, to help us write receipts.
On the other side, I think about non-interactive regular job. One of it -- binary files stripping (now implemented). I have a concept of Non Interactive Cook Enhancer (NICE). Have no time to write it, here only one configuration shell script in attachment... But, I think you'll get the idea!

It's dangerous to do this. Take my Occam's Razor!

I prefer Raiden from MK1 (before Kung Lao stole his hat in MK2). I also work with high voltage.
