Bugzilla Bug 165617

Please stabilize 1.4_rc5, it fixes autotools handling, linking of aalib.so and
dropped the invalid USE=static.

Thanks.

x86 stable

Stable on ppc

Stable for HPPA.

This version of aalib fails to compile, USE="gpm" seems to be the culprit:

emerge --info

configure --without-gpm-mouse does not successfully remove GPM support, even
though my understanding of the configure script would lead me to believe it
should..

I've manually changed #define GPM_MOUSEDRIVER 1 to #undef GPM_MOUSEDRIVER and
achieve a successful compile. Also, I'd think that #define GPM_MOUSEDRIVER 0
would also disable GPM support, however that results in failed compiles as
well..

This problem is/was holding up quite a few packages which depend on aalib. I
request another -rc be put out when someone more capable of providing an ebuild
fix to the configure problem gets some time. Thanks!!

aalib-1.4_rc5.ebuild.patch to properly handle USE="-gpm"

Guess it wasn't all that difficult to produce a lame fix on configure.in.
Thanks!! :-)

Fixed. Thanks jieryn.

Still missing stable keyword.

mips stable.
