Bugzilla Bug 22160

as stated on http://www.staticfreesoft.com/manual/text/chap01-03.html, electric
can 
either use motif or Qt. My feature wish is that the ebuild does accordingly to
the USE var. 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Hi Thomas.

I'll look into this as I'll get some time - this doesn't seem to be completely trivial. According to description modification to Makefile is required.
Of course patch to the existing ebuild would be appreciated ;).

Hi George, Thomas,

I have done a little bit of work on this issue, and will attach my results. The reality is that electric needs to be more fully autoconfiscated, but for now we will just go the Makefile-patching route.

patch to enable qt

This patch uncomments the parts of the Makefile.in required to build with qt,
and  comments out the parts which will build against motif (you can't have
both).

fixes sandbox violations

This patch modifies the install target in the Makefile to respect $DESTDIR, so
we don't have any more sandbox violations.

Created an attachment (id=27380) [details]
patch for electric ebuild

This patch modifies the ebuild as follows:
1) Apply the fix-sandbox patch.
2) If qt is in use, apply the qt patch and depend on qt, otherwise stick with
openmotif.
3) Set DESTDIR for when we make install.

Nice work, John, put this into portage with only small changes. Thank you very
much.
