/usr/include/mirclient/mir_toolkit/events/event.h:24:32: fatal error: mir_toolkit/common.h: No such file or directory

[Ken VanDine]

A header from libmirclient-dev has an include for a file that used to be in libmircommon-dev, which seems to have been removed in 0.25.0+16.04.20161203-0ubuntu1

libmircommon-dev=0.24.1+16.04.20160928-0ubuntu1 did have mir_toolkit/common.h

The header moved to mircore-dev, which is a dependency of miclient-dev and
mirserver-dev. Reinstall one of them.

Testing on a fresh install of 0.25 in zesty, and content hub is building for me. Using:
0.25.0+16.04.20161203-0ubuntu1 libmirclient9
0.25.0+16.04.20161203-0ubuntu1 libmircommon7
0.25.0+16.04.20161203-0ubuntu1 libmircore1

Is there a different package you were talking about?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Confirmed, mir_toolkit/common.h has moved from libmircommon-dev to libmircore-dev, and libmirclient-dev is lacking correct dependencies on that new package. So external projects will probably fail to build since they can't find mir_toolkit/common.h

The pkg-config dependency seems to be in place already, but no deb dependency of libmirclient-dev on libmircore-dev.

A simple workaround should be to manually install libmircore-dev.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Wait, no. libmirclient-dev depends on libmircommon-dev depends on libmircore-dev already.

So perhaps you do have common.h installed, but we're lacking correct "-Iinclude_paths" which *.pc/*.pc.in should provide.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Ken, can you please check your project's pkg-config and ensure you're getting mircore.pc? You should be getting it automatically by indirection and that should be giving you the include path to find the new location of common.h automatically.

Please also list all your 'dpkg -l | grep mir'.

Is there a different package you were trying to test? I dont see any comment on it

[Ken VanDine (ken-vandine)]

I've confirmed that a reinstall of libmircommon-dev, libmirclient-dev and libmircore-dev seemed to have fixed it. Not sure what was up with that!

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

Good to hear!

[Brandon Schaefer (brandontschaefer)]

(also strange an upgrade didnt just auto do that for you?)
