Missing <bsd/stdio.h>

I am attempting to build a package (on Fedora 29) that relies on the libbsd package. I'm consistently getting a message about it not being able to find <bsd stdio.h=""> (angle braces not quotes) in the include path. The thing is when I check the paths it's looking at for includes (these dirs I think:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/8/include
/usr/local/include
/usr/include

that bsd directory simply doesn't seem to be present. I tried removing and re-installing libbsd from dnf but that doesn't seem to have done it.

Anyone have any suggestions of something I might be missing here?

Try installing libbsd-devel and libbsd package

Found it here:

# dnf provides '*/bsd/stdio.h'
libbsd-devel-0.9.1-2.fc29.i686 : Development files for libbsd
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/include/bsd/stdio.h

libbsd-devel-0.9.1-2.fc29.x86_64 : Development files for libbsd
Repo        : fedora
Matched from:
Filename    : /usr/include/bsd/stdio.h

So: run dnf install libbsd-devel.

How did you examine the dnf packages to determine that?

I would upvote your answer but I can't :( But I did accept it because you're correct!

Exactly by running the command dnf provides '*/bsd/stdio.h'. You can use that technique for any file path name or part of file path name. For example: what package provides the java compiller? dnf provides '*/bin/javac'. Notice the quotes to avoid expansion of the wildcards by the shell.

Ah--wish I had seen that! If I had I could have answered my own question! Thanks again for the assistance!
