I wanted to give this a try in my python scripts. I have cloned libupnpp from git, built installed it with --prefix=/usr/local.
Now when I try to build the bindings it looks for libupnpp header files in /usr/lib and not in /usr/local/lib. How can I fix that please?
Thanks and best regards
Martin

2018-01-12Hi, same as the upplay issue, this works for me on Ubuntu (I don't know why actually, I don't see /usr/local/include in the command line -I options).
If you are just interested in building the package and not in the issue itself, I think that the simplest approach would be to add a symbolic link from /usr/include/libupnpp to /usr/local/include/libupnpp :)
Else what system are you using ?

2018-01-14This is somehow different. When I invoke make command it's running /usr/bin/swig -c++ -noruntime -python -I.. -I/usr/include -o upnpp_wrap.cxx ../python/upnpp-python.i
Shouldn't there also be a -I/usr/local/include in the command?
I'm doing this on Gentoo Linux. If nothing else help I will create a symbolic link. But maybe there is a way to tell swig to look in /usr/local/lib.

2018-01-14I played a bit with that problem. In directory python I added in the Makefile to the line AX_SWIG_PYTHON_OPT = -python the missing -I/usr/local/include.
At least it builds now. Don't really know what it means. Shouldn't there always be a prefix dependent include o_O?

2018-01-14Yes, you are right, I was too hasty and had not seen the issue because I had not actually run swig (the swig output is a distributed file, not cleaned).
There are multiple ways to fix this.
The really right approach would be to find out where libupnpp is installed, either through pkg-config, or through a configure option, and substitute the appropriate result in Makefile.am
As I am too lazy to add the configure option, and pkg-config may not be installed in all cases, I'd suggest the simpler solution which is to replace the following in python/Makefile.am
SWIG_includes = -I$(top_srcdir) -I/usr/include
With:
SWIG_includes = -I$(top_srcdir) @CPPFLAGS@ -I/usr/include
and then run configure as:
configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include
This appears to work fine for me and I'll commit the Makefile.am change.
