media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090530 builds without OSD menu even with USE osdmenu set media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322 had OSD menu. Likely the reason is that media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090322.ebuild had the line myconf="${myconf} --enable-menu"; media-video/mplayer-1.0_rc2_p20090530.ebuild lacks this line and has instead use osdmenu || myconf="${myconf} --disable-menu". This does not work because Mplayer's configure disables the OSD menu by default Reproducible: Always Probably unneeded, but here you have: emerge --info > emerge--info-output.txt content of emerge--info-output.txt : Portage 2.1.6.13 (default/linux/x86/2008.0/desktop, gcc-4.1.2, glibc-2.8_p20080602-r1, 2.6.27.24 i686) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-2.6.27.24-i686-AMD_Athlon-tm-_XP_2600+-with-glibc2.0 Timestamp of tree: Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:45:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 3.2_p39 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.7 dev-lang/python: 2.5.4-r2 dev-util/cmake: 2.6.2-r1 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.12 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.6-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.63 sys-devel/automake: 1.5, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.27-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo /etc/udev/rules.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/local/slowpart/usr/portage/distfiles" EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS="--nospinner" FEATURES="collision-protect distlocks fixpackages parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.las.ic.unicamp.br/pub/gentoo/ http://cudlug.cudenver.edu/gentoo http://mirrors.usu.edu/mirrors/gentoo/ http://gentoo.osuosl.org/ http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo/" LANG="pt_BR" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--hash-style=gnu" LINGUAS="en" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/local/slowpart/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/local/slowpart/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/jorgeportage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.namerica.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowext X aalib acpi alsa aotuv bash-completion bluetooth branding bzip2 cairo cdio cdr cli cracklib dbus dvd dvdr dvdread emacs emboss encode evo exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran gif glibc-omitfp gnuplot gnutls gpm gstreamer gzip-el hddtemp iconv imap isdnlog jpeg libcaca libsamplerate logrotate lzma mad matroska midi mikmod mmx mmxext mng moznopango mp3 mpeg mplayer mudflap ncurses network-cron nptl nptlonly nsplugin offensive ogg opengl openmp pam pcre pdf png ppds pppd python qt3support quicktime readline reflection sdl session sox speex spell spl sse ssl svg symlink sysfs tcpd theora tiff toolkit-scroll-bars truetype unicode usb v4l2 vorbis x264 x86 xml xorg xosd xulrunner xv zlib" ALSA_CARDS="cmipci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse evdev" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="nv vesa" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, FFLAGS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I could have sworn I had already fixed this. Guess not. Fixed in 20090530 and 9999. Thanks for reporting.
