howl include problem with 0.2.4 SRPM

[hakamadare]

so, i pulled down the mt-daapd-0.2.4-1.src.rpm from SourceForge and tried to build it on a freshly patched CentOS 4.3 system. to satisfy dependencies, i installed howl-0.9.8-0_6.el4.at, howl-devel-0.9.8-0_6.el4.at, and libhowl0-0.9.8-0_6.el4.at from ATrpms.

i got the following error:

it seems that the SRPM wants the howl includes to live in /usr/include/howl-0.9.8, but the ATrpms howl-devel package puts them in /usr/include/howl. i made a symlink to fix this, and then the compile succeeded.

would it be possible to change the SRPM to search both locations? an extra -I should do it. alternately, do you have other suggestions for good howl RPMs?

thanks,

I don’t, but I had seen a specfile (that I *should* have grabbed somewhere) that awked out the path to howl automagically. Might google for mt-daapd.spec, and see if you can find it. It looked like a winner.

If I run across it again, I’ll probably steal (i.e. borrow + credit) the thing to drop in the contrib (and to build from)

http://www.silfreed.net/download/repo/packages/mt-daapd/mt-daapd.spec

that’s the one I was looking for. That looks pretty close to right, except for the case where it’s in /usr/include/howl, rather than /usr/include/howl-ver
