Seems that the headerfile "rle.h" is missing.
I found one in /usr/include/urt/rle.h (part of media-libs/urt-3.1b).


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/giflib
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge fails

Expected Results:  
Should compile normally.

It this ebuild maintained by graphics herd? And why is it missing metadata.xml?

Created an attachment (id=69437) [edit]
giflib-4.1.3-r1.ebuild.diff

This patch should allow it to compile.
The bad news is that it will require some keywording in media-libs/urt, so if
anyone has a better plan...

By the way, it seems libungif has the same problem.

(In reply to comment #3)
> By the way, it seems libungif has the same problem.

Best solved by moving it to /dev/null finally...

libungif is dead, it shouldnt be updated, it should be punted from portage

seems giflib has a whole bunch of undeclared dependencies ...

fixed in giflib-4.1.3-r2 / urt-3.1b-r1

*** Bug 107926 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

After further looking into this bug, it appears that the line causing the
problems is '#include "rle.h"' which of course isn't right.  When I change it to
'#include <urt/rle.h>' it works but then barfs on rle2gif.c which requires the
same fix.  When I make these two small changes, it compiles.  I'm too new to
portage to know how to make a patch out of this, as every time I re-emerge, it
loses my changes...

By the way, why is this RESOLVED FIXED if the problem still occurs?  Maybe I'm
too new to the bug system, but this seems like it should be kept open until its
ACTUALLY fixed.  I just reported a new bug since I could't find this one.  I
think that I was searching only open bugs, which would explain why I couldn't
find this one...
