When I tried to emerge mkvtoolnix with the following flags: [ebuild U ] media-video/mkvtoolnix-1.7.0 [1.6.5] USE="bzip2 -debug% -flac lzo wxwindows" 0 kB I got the following message: * checking mkvtoolnix-1.7.0.tar.bz2 ;-) ... [ ok ]!!! set-wxconfig: Error: Can't find normal or debug version: !!! set-wxconfig: /usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-ansi-release-2.6 not found !!! set-wxconfig: /usr/lib/wx/config/gtk2-ansi-debug-2.6 not found !!! You need to emerge wxGTK with gtk2 in your USE I had emerged wxGTK with the following flags: [ebuild R ] x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3.2 USE="-X -debug -doc gnome -joystick -odbc -opengl -sdl unicode" 0 kB As you can see, there's no "gtk2" USE flag in wxGTK (anymore).
Not ebuild fault, wxwidgets eclass spits this out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138940 ***
I went ahead and fixed the ebuild anyway to use built_with_use instead.
Please revert the changes. Now it will not work at all on half of the systems. I will fix the eclass text that it spits out, but otherwise the eclass works right. As you changed it to: a) It will not pick the correct wxGTK SLOT if 2.4 and 2.6 are installed b) It will likely not find the proper wx-config to get any necessary CXXFLAGS to pass if the system had at one time both SLOTs installed but now has 2.4 unmerged (there will be only a wx-config-2.6 and no wx-config and eclass doesn't pass it to that). However, if 2.4 is still installed, it will hit problem a) Please see media-video/vlc for an example how to use the eclass properly - see wxwidgets.eclass for a list of argument that can be passed to need-wxwidgets. I would prefer if "unicode" is used if that works - I want to get rid of non-unicode wxGTK in the long run. The strings are wrong in the eclass, the checks themselves are correct and working to the best of my knowledge. I will fix the strings soon. PS: Why is the ebuild stripping --as-needed LDFLAGS? If wxWidgets was built with --as-needed, you will get --as-needed to LDFLAGS no matter what (wxWidgets configure doesn't separate user passed LDFLAGS from the necessary ones in the LDFLAGS wx-config --libs outputs). If this package breaks with --as-needed then this should be filed and made block bug #129413. If the users whole system is --as-needed, the filtering will not help anyways - wx-config --libs will give it to the build anyhow, no matter what the user LDFLAGS are (a bug in wx upstream I need to tackle).
All rolled back, thanks leio
Otherwise it's about me fixing the strings in the eclass. Marking as dup of 138940 again *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 138940 ***
