Bugzilla Bug 218334

The following error goes away when imlib2 is installed.

ImageImlib2.cc:31:20: error: Imlib2.h: No such file or directory
ImageImlib2.cc:37: error: ‘Imlib_Context’ was not declared in this scope
ImageImlib2.cc:37: error: template argument 2 is invalid
ImageImlib2.cc:37: error: template argument 4 is invalid
ImageImlib2.cc:37: error: invalid type in declaration before ‘;’ token
ImageImlib2.cc:38: error: expected initializer before ‘ScreenImlibContext’
ImageImlib2.cc: In constructor ‘FbTk::ImageImlib2::ImageImlib2()’:
ImageImlib2.cc:51: error: ‘imlib_set_cache_size’ was not declared in this
scope


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Looking at the ebuild, it seems that imlib2 is already in DEPEND, although
conditional with regards to whether or not the imlib2 USE flag is enabled.

I haven't test it out, so are you suggesting that it be always required?
Thanks.

Yes.
I haven't tested it either, apart from observing the build error when testing
packages for GCC-4.3.0 compliance.

A cursory glance tells me that src/FbTk/Makefile.am always tries to compile
ImageImlib2.cc, so it may be possible to  put that into a conditional. I see
that the configure script has some autotoolery for imlib2, perhaps it just
needs to be extended to the makefiles?
Quick test to verify this:
emerge -C imlib2
USE="-imlib2" emerge -1 fbdesk

I somehow completely forgot about this bug. However, it has now been fixed.
Thanks and sorry for the incredibly long delay.
