E17 libecore_dbus.la missing

[satanspetferret]

Trying to install evidence (as part of a revdep-rebuild) gives:

grep: /usr/lib64/libecore_dbus.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib64/libecore_dbus.la: No such file or directory

Now I know libecore_dbus.la is supposed to be installed as part of ecore. Installing ecore goes without any visible problems, but doesn't create the library.

Copied from emerge ecore:

Making all in ecore_dbus
make[4]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ecore-9999/work/e17/libs/ecore/src/lib/ecore_dbus'
make[4]: Nothing to be done for `all'.

Making all in bin

and later on:

Making install in ecore_dbus

However:

It's not installing the libecore_dbus.la and I have no idea why.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

First off all there is a thread dedicated to E17 in this forum. Try to use that thread for better responses.

Specific to your problem: try enabling dbus USE flag.
