I was testing the last unstable version of transmission and I ran into some compilation problem regarding, I suppose, libevent. I'll attach a complete build log. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unmask transmission 2. emerge transmission Actual Results: Compilation breaks Expected Results: Compilation should complete successfully It's not a problem related to --as-needed ldflag or make options such as "-j5" ( I tried with -j1 with no luck).

This is just a guess, but it kind of looks like you're trying to build Transmission on a system with libevent2. What version of libevent do you have installed on your system?
(In reply to comment #3) > This is just a guess, but it kind of looks like you're trying to build > Transmission on a system with libevent2. > > What version of libevent do you have installed on your system? > None. Transmission pulls libevent-2.0.1 (that is hardmasked) but it compiles flawlessy.
Transmission pulls from https://levent.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/levent/branches/patches-1.4/libevent, so I don't know where you're getting the 2.0.1 alpha from.
Also, the config log says you're using the system version of libevent, rather than the bundled version: Source code location: . Compiler: i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ System or bundled libevent: system Xref: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=269082

Got the problem. The problem is gave by the fact that I had libevent 2.0.1 unmasked (I think autounmask have messed up soomething). So, instead of compiling v1.4.11, it compiled v2.0.1 (that seems to be uncompatible with transmission). Now I've correctly unmasked libevent-1.4.11 (not 2.0.1 as before) and transmission compiled flawlessy. I guess this bug should be renamed into "transmission won't compile with libevent-2.0.1". Thanks.
It doesn't look like there is a need now to restrict the DEPEND as libevent-2 will remain package.masked for a while yet.
libevent2 is still in beta...

>=dev-libs/libevent-1.4.11 is what the [R]DEPEND currently says, and dev-libs/libevent-2 is package.masked: # Jeroen Roovers <jer@gentoo.org> (21 Apr 2009) # Masked until out of beta =dev-libs/libevent-2* I should think that's enough to stop most people shooting themselves in the foot, but maybe net-p2p people will want to tweak it.

Sorry ^^''
dep adjusted
