Bugzilla Bug 197236

media-libs/xine-lib-1.1.8 compiles with an incorrect default codec path

The path used is /usr//win32 which should be /usr/lib/win32
I guess, the function get_libdir (used in the ebuild) returns an empty
string...

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge xine-lib
2.while emerging xine-lib do: ps -efww |grep codec
3.rm -rf ~/.xine
4.xine
5.in xine setup, tab gui, select advanced and apply
6.in xine setup, tab decoder I see /usr//win32
7.quit xine
8.view ~/.xine/config

Actual Results:  
while emerging xine-lib: ps -efww |grep codec

note here: --with-w32-path=/usr//win32

in xine setup, tab decoder I see /usr//win32

in ~/.xine/config, I see:
# path to Win32 codecs
# string, default: /usr//win32
#decoder.external.win32_codecs_path:/usr//win32


Expected Results:  
while emerging xine-lib, ps -efww |grep codec
should show -with-w32-path=/usr/lib/win32

in xine setup, tab decoder I expect to see /usr/lib/win32

in ~/.xine/config, I expect to see:
# path to Win32 codecs
# string, default: /usr/lib/win32
#decoder.external.win32_codecs_path:/usr/lib/win32

Indeed. $(ABI=x86 get_libdir) returns an empty string on x86 (while on amd64
its fine).
CC'ing multilib.eclass maintainers, as I'm not sure if its an error in the
ebuild or in the eclass.

The broken Xine (Gentoos xine-lib-1.1.x) can be fixed by making this symlink:

ln -s /usr/lib/win32/ /usr/lib/codecs/

Please make the ebuild figure the libdir some other way or hardcode it or make
the symlink or in some other way Make It Work and do not let waiting for the
multilib.eclass gang figure out why it is broken for yet another year before
this bug is fixed.

Software should work as expected without having to go to bugs.gentoo just to
find and use a posted-years-ago solution who are not included due to
waiting-for-someone-else or something like that, or worse, developer who
refuses to accept a five line long patch which would fix the bug because he
plans to rewrite the whole thing from scratch 10 years from now (like the
broken genkernel sys-power/suspend case)

well... reading the win32codecs ebuild, it seems multilib.eclass does what it's
asked to do.. so I've added some code to fix that in the 1.1.15 ebuild
