[SOLVED] attr/xattr.h not found

Since last system update, installing libarchive from source fails finding the header:

#include <attr/xattr.h>

I check the attr core package: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core/x86_64/attr/
And it changed heavily 4 days ago, maybe it changed the installation folder?

In my system locate xattr.h shows:

/path/libarchive/libarchive/archive_platform_xattr.h
/usr/include/linux/posix_acl_xattr.h
/usr/include/linux/reiserfs_xattr.h
/usr/include/linux/xattr.h
/usr/include/sys/xattr.h

Thanks for any help.

Umm, it seems that package does not provide the file?

pacman -Fs xattr.h

Re: [SOLVED] attr/xattr.h not found

libarchive should support sys/xattr.h https://github.com/libarchive/libarchiv … re.ac#L734
What is the contents of config.log?
Edit:
Also the build failure as well please.

That's right, my cmake cache was outdated, so the problem was solved building in a clean folder (or maybe just rerunning the configuration step). Sorry for the noise, and thanks for the aid.
