Subject: CMake support into expat-2.4.1 is broken.
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2022 13:12:34 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CADt9575iw7vbiBCZf9E9ui8_owrjV7UVOwmRaBQmu9AsFHjUmQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hello,
I tried to build the latest stable of OpenColorIO but I got an error
because the support for CMake into expat is broken.
I'm getting this message:


CMake Error at /usr/lib/cmake/expat-2.4.1/expat.cmake:74 (message):
  The imported target "expat::expat" references the file

     "/usr/lib/libexpat.so.1.8.1"

  but this file does not exist.


which is true, as you can see by inspecting the file
/usr/lib/cmake/expat-2.4.1/expat-noconfig.cmake.
As you can see by looking here:

https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/tree/master/expat/cmake/autotools

this is a bug of Expath because "expat-noconfig__linux.cmake.in" is
installed rather than expat-noconfig__windows.cmake.in.
Here:

https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/pull/546

I made a PR to the master of Expat for fixing this issue.
I was wondering if a newer packaged could be published with a newer
stable version of Expat (when it will be released with this fix) or by
updating the cygport file by including the same patch.

Thank you very much.
Sincerely.
