Confirming here that applying the patch makes the nis module compile successfully at a system where the sun rpc interfaces are provided by libtirpc and not glibc.

With this change, setup.py first checks if rpcsvc/yp_prot.h is available:

find_file('rpcsvc/yp_prot.h', inc_dirs, []) is not None

and then it checks if libtirpc is available:

self.compiler.find_library_file(lib_dirs, 'tirpc')

If libtirpc is available, it pass /usr/include/tirpc in include directories to build nismodule.c.

In Fedora 27, rpcsvc/yp_prot.h is provided by glibc-headers. In Fedora rawhide (future F28), it's still provided by glibc-headers. It may be provided by a different package (rpcsvc-proto) in the future: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1532364

The PR is correct since rpcsvc/yp_prot.h will remain in /usr/include (full path: /usr/include/rpcsvc/yp_prot.h) even if it will be provided by a different package in Fedora 28.

LGTM, but please just rename include_dirs variable.

Later we might enhance the code by using pkg-config to get the include directory, rather than using an hardcoded path, but well... setup.py doesn't support pkg-config yet, pkg-config is not available on all platforms, and nis is going to be deprecated... So I don't think that it's worth it.

setup.py Outdated

This code lives in the giant detect_modules() function which is 1184 lines long... The function should be refactored, but that's out of the scope of the PR.

Would you mind to rename include_dirs to nic_incs, as done for for other "include_dirs=" parameters? It would avoid bad surprised with name clashes in this giant function.
