Bugzilla Bug 113441

The configure.in file fails to honour --disable-sdl, whereby sdl is always 
linked in when using devil. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. cat "media-libs/devil -sdl" >> /etc/portage/package.use 
2. emerge -av devil 
3. less /usr/lib/libILUT.la 
 
Actual Results:  
dependency_libs contains /usr/lib/libSDL.la 

Expected Results:  
dependency_libs should have no reference to anything sdl.

Created an attachment (id=73482) [edit]
patch for devil to honour --disable-sdl configure option

This patch requires autoconf to be run before configuring. See patch to ebuild.

Created an attachment (id=73484) [edit]
patch for devil-1.6.7-r1.ebuild to apply configure.in patch

The patch to configure.in requires that autoconf is run afterwards.
I inherit autotools and run eautoconf.
This works, but I get warnings about illegally inheriting autotools and
gnu_autoconf.
I don't know what to do instead...

have you submitted this patch upstream ?

(In reply to comment #3)
> have you submitted this patch upstream ?

Nopes. Should I do this first?

you should do it now while we add it to portage

I have submitted the configure.in patch to: 
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=4470&atid=304470. 

added to portage, thanks
