dbus-arch-deps.h missing from usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus

[Ruairi]

Hi,

I am new to this bug reporting.
1. I am using version 12.04
2. When compiling a wimax driver I had a Error reported. due to a missing header file in dbus

The main header file "/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h" line 29 includes a lower level header file as follows:
#include <dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h>

However the file "/usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h" is not present.

To rectify I copied the file dbus-arch-deps.h from here:
    http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/api/html/dbus-arch-deps_8h_source.html
And it seems to fix the problem

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

the file is in /usr/lib/*/dbus-1.0/include/dbus/dbus-arch-deps.h in the libdbus-1-dev package, but frequently fails to be found: bug 89042. In my case it was even a failure to be included from another file in libdbus-1-dev itself: /usr/include/dbus-1.0/dbus/dbus.h:29

It looks like this is intentional and the source code compiling against these dbus files needs to be updated: http://askubuntu.com/questions/40763/symlink-for-dbus-headers

I'm closing this ticket as invalid.
