Description Björn Lindqvist 2006-11-21 11:05:42 UTC 
config.py contains the following two lines:

#includedir = os.path.join(self.prefix, 'include')
#addpath('C_INCLUDE_PATH', includedir)

They were commented out with the following ChangeLog message:

	* jhbuild.py: Commented-out the addpath() call that sets
	C_INCLUDE_PATH. We don't know why this was set. Maybe we will find out
	now. It seems to set the system directories, which leads to warnings
	with gcc 3.x.

They must be uncommented again because they are needed by NetworkManager's configure script that tests if the header files for wireless-tools are installed. The C_INCLUDE_PATH variable makes it so the AC_TRY_COMPILE macro finds the correct C headers.

Sorry it took so long to get back to this; another bug report finally reminded me about it.

        * jhbuild/config.py: add C_INCLUDE_DIR back and also set LDFLAGS, they
        are required for autoconf configure scripts to find some modules that
        do not use pkg-config.  (closes: #545018, #377724)
