Bug 216102 – mythtv-0.22_alpha16870 ebuild typos and dependencies

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description dynamotwain 2008-04-03 22:35:10 UTC]

The 6200ch firewire channel tuner fails to compile with libavc1394-0.5.0 because of undefined symbols that were added in libavc1394-0.5.3. Thus, mythtv-0.22_alpha16870 fails to compile, and the ebuild should require version 0.5.3 of libavc1394.

6200ch/6200ch.c:322: error: ‘AVC1394_PANEL_COMMAND_PASS_THROUGH’ undeclared (first use in this function)
6200ch/6200ch.c: In function ‘set_power_fast’:
6200ch/6200ch.c:338: error: ‘AVC1394_PANEL_COMMAND_PASS_THROUGH’ undeclared (first use in this function)
6200ch/6200ch.c:338: error: ‘AVC1394_PANEL_OPERATION_POWER’ undeclared (first use in this function)

Furthermore, there is a missing backslash at line 194, so the required libraries don't get linked into 6200ch, causing linker failure if the required version of libavc1394 is present.

How don't you have libavc1394-0.5.3? it's stable for a year and half.

Just luck, I guess. No other packages I have actually needed a more up-to-date version, and it never got pulled in by any piecewise upgrades I've done, so it just happened. Still, it's not pleasant to have an emerge fail 1+ hours into compiling due to a typo in an ebuild... and I haven't found a way to force portage into resuming at that point instead of starting over.

it's not luck.. emerging mythtv SHOULD have pulled that new version in.

[Comment 5 Doug Goldstein (RETIRED) 2008-04-03 23:36:45 UTC]

anyway.. this is fixed. In the future, a diff -u is easier to parse.
