+<p>The proper way to fix this problem depends on the type of the

+<div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title">
+<a name="fixes.build.header.bl3"></a>21.5.3.1. Headers from other packages</h4></div></div></div>
+<p>If the header name looks like it comes from a different package,
+that other package should be included via the buildlink3
+framework.</p>
+<p>First, look whether the header is somewhere in the buildlink3
+directory below <code class="varname">WRKDIR</code>. In the above case of
+the missing Pango header:</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">
+<code class="prompt">$</code> find work/.buildlink/ -print | grep -F pango/pango.h
+</pre>
+<p>In the case of Pango, the output is:</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">
+work/.buildlink/include/pango-1.0/pango/pango.h
+</pre>
+<p>If the <code class="filename">pango/pango.h</code> file were placed directly
+in the <code class="filename">.buildlink</code> directory, it would have been
+found automatically. There is an extra <code class="filename">pango-1.0</code>
+path component though, which means that the compiler command line must
+contain an option of the form
+<code class="literal">-I${BUILDLINK3_PREFIX.pango}/include/pango-1.0</code>. In
+most cases this option is generated by the configure script, which can be examined using:</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">
+<code class="prompt">$</code> $ grep -o '[-]I[^[:space:]]*/pango[^[:space:]]*' work/*/Makefile
+-I/usr/pkg/include/pango-1.0
+-I/usr/pkg/include/pango-1.0
+-I/usr/pkg/include/pango-1.0
+-I/usr/pkg/include/pango-1.0
+-I/usr/pkg/include/pango-1.0
+</pre>
+<p>This looks good. These options are transformed by the buildlink
+wrapper to refer to the correct path inside
+<code class="filename">work/.buildlink</code>.</p>
+<p>Since the compilation fails though, examine the compiler command
+lines in <code class="filename">work/.work.log</code> to see whether the
+<code class="literal">-I</code> option is included in the particular command
+line.</p>
+<p>To further analyze the situation, run <span class="command"><strong>bmake
+build-env</strong></span>, which sets up an interactive, realistic environment
+including all the pkgsrc wrapper commands and environment variables. From
+there, try to compile some simple example programs that use the
+header.</p>

+<a name="fixes.build.header.gen"></a>21.5.3.2. Headers generated during the build</h4></div></div></div>
+<p>If the name of the header seems to come from the package itself,
+and if the build is run with parallel jobs, the package may have some
+undeclared dependencies between the <code class="filename">.c</code> and the
+<code class="filename">.h</code> files, and a C file is compiled before its
+required header is generated.</p>
+<p>To see whether the build runs with parallel jobs, run
+<span class="command"><strong>bmake show-all-build | grep JOBS</strong></span>. Its output looks
+like this:</p>
+<pre class="programlisting">
+ usr MAKE_JOBS= 7
+ pkg MAKE_JOBS_SAFE # undefined
+ def _MAKE_JOBS_N= 7
+</pre>
+<p>In this case the pkgsrc user has asked pkgsrc to build packages
+with 7 jobs in parallel (<code class="varname">MAKE_JOBS</code>). The
+package could have disabled parallel builds by setting
+<code class="varname">MAKE_JOBS_SAFE</code> to <code class="literal">no</code>, but
+in this case it hasn't.</p>
+<p>To see whether the build failure is caused by parallel builds,
+first save the exact error message and a bit of context, maybe you need
