apk build error: bzlib.h: No such file or directory

os: openSUSE tumlbeweed linux p4a version: git master android ndk version: r17c

I tried to build apk with p4a: p4a apk --private /home/z/pproj/paradox_ssh/ --version=1.7 --bootstrap=sdl2 --local-recipes=./recipes --requirements=python3,kivy-async,openssl,sqlite3,pil,requests,sdl2,plyer --whitelist=./whitelist.txt --permission=CALL_PHONE --permission=INTERNET --orientation=portrait --package=org.spbelect.paradox2 --name="paradox2" --release

The build failed with an error:

/home/u1/.local/share/python-for-android/build/other_builds/freetype/armeabi-v7a__ndk_target_19/freetype/src/bzip2/ftbzip2.c:52:19: fatal error: bzlib.h: No such file or directory #include <bzlib.h> ^ compilation terminated.

full p4a stdout: https://gist.github.com/Fak3/5fca7ea090ddcc78be30571c8f4f91d8

I do have bzlib headers installed:

> rpm -ql libbz2-devel
/usr/include/bzlib.h
/usr/lib64/libbz2.so
/usr/lib64/pkgconfig/bzip2.pc
/usr/share/doc/packages/libbz2-devel
/usr/share/doc/packages/libbz2-devel/CHANGES
/usr/share/licenses/libbz2-devel
/usr/share/licenses/libbz2-devel/LICENSE

But somehow recipe cannot find the headers

Thanks! It worked

I think that I found what happen here:

The thing is that, for debian os and derivatives, there is a bug because the pkg-config is not distributed alongside the bzip2-devellibbz2-dev (libbz2-devel for openSuse) package, so when we build freetype we don’t get bzip2 support , not your case with openSuse, which it finds the pkg-config and tries to use that (Checking your freetype’s configure.log against mine, I noticed that your compilation is using bzip2 and it clearly fails, but my bzip2 library is never found because of the missing pkg-config file)

Could you try if the solution posted at #1857 works for you?
