Re: [Bug: 21.5-b29] configure doesn't know its own options

How about other libraries in general? What I'm hoping for is a

<foo/bar.h>. Or is that too much to expect for non-pkgconfig
packages? (Ie, maybe by now all the packages following this pattern
also support "pkgconfig --includes foo", too?)
I don't think there is an official policy. In general with Gentoo we try
to follow upstream for the most part, but we also try to present a
consistent filesystem hierarchy, so obviously the outcome of that will
be a bit messy. For example, I just noticed that our current gdbm
version installed these header files:
/usr/include/gdbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm/dbm.h
/usr/include/gdbm/ndbm.h
The gdbm.h file got moved to the gdbm directory as well at some point,
but that got reverted quickly: https://bugs.gentoo.org/106970
We don't need any other exceptions to find the header files, so I guess
the XEmacs configure script looks for all the other stuff in places
where we have it.
Kind regards,
Hans
