Bugzilla Bug 115710

This is the error message I get when I try to compile libgdiplus-1.1.10:

/usr/lib/gcc/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/3.4.4/../../../../powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
cannot find -lungif
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libgdiplus.la] Error 1

I don't have libungif, but after reading libgdiplis's changelogs I thought
giflib could replace it.

# emerge -pv libungif
[blocks B     ] media-libs/giflib (is blocking media-libs/libungif-4.1.3)
[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libungif-4.1.3  +X -gif 429 kB

And I also have the gif USE flag deactivated:

# emerge -pv libgdiplus
[ebuild     U ] dev-dotnet/libgdiplus-1.1.10 [1.1.9.2] -gif +jpeg +png -tiff 0 kB



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv libgdiplus

I've tried to emerge libgdiplus-1.1.10 with the gif USE flag active and it
worked. It seems to me that libdgiplus will try to install gif support wether we
want it or not. This appears at the end of the configure thing, while emerging:

Configuration summary

   * Installation prefix = /usr
   * Codecs supported:

      - TIFF: no (Get it from http://www.libtiff.org/)
      - JPEG: yes
      - GIF: yes
      - PNG: yes

gif support is active, but I have the gif USE flag deactivated. I suppose he
will then use the default gif library (libungif) and fail because I don't have
it. I also suppose he only checks for the alternative, giflib, when the gif USE
flag is active.

Hrm... can you please report the config.log file from the compile when things
fail? it will be in /var/tmp/portage/libgdiplus-1.1.10/work/libgdiplus-1.1.10/
or somesuch. Thanks.

Scratch that, I was able to reproduce and I tracked down the source of the
problem. I've just commited a fix for the 1.1.10 in portage, as well as the new
1.1.11 i just added.

Marking this FIXED, please re-open if you still have the problem after getting
the fixes i just added. Thanks.
