Bug 203227

drac doesn't does come with any headers (and doesn't need them). Applications that want to use drac, communicate via RPC with the daemon. You might want to have a look at http://mail.cc.umanitoba.ca/drac/index.html#works for details.

The above command might be a bit misleading. drac comes with a static library (libdrac), which is packaged in our drac package. But there is no header file (not even in the drac sources) that you can include to use libdrac. I guess you nee to declare those few function yourself. See also the dracauth manpage.

There IS a drac.h generated as part of the build, but it is not inclded by the suse spec. I need it to build flexpop packages which on debian require the drac-dev package (which contains drac.h) See my test below:

Updated SPEC to create a devel package and include drac.h

Here is a patch to update the suse spec file. I have also built the new package for all SUSE versions on the build service at:
http://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=drac&project=home%3Apeternixon

Thanks for your effort, but I just had a quick look at the flexpop sources.

You are right in that flexpop checks for a file drac.h in configure. But grepping through the flexpop source doesn't reveal any point where that file is really included and used. In fact it just defines the required libdrac prototype itself in popupd.h :
extern int  dracauth(char *, unsigned long, char **);

Additionally the drac.h file that is created during the build of drac is just needed internally for the RPC communication between libdrac and the drac-daemon. It is of no usage to applications that want to use libdrac like flexpop.

So this really a bug in the configure.in of flexpop. You could just workaround that by doing e.g:
touch /tmp/drac.h
export CPPFLAGS="-I/tmp/"

Hmm.. OK. I will take this up with the developers. I was talking to them earlier on IRC but as they are all in Japan they have just left for home. I have mailed them about it and will get back to you.

Note I also opened a related Bug #213589 for postfix (also no headers)

Setting back to invalid.
