Description Marek Sapota 2010-01-28 22:11:09 UTC 
dev-java/icedtea6 requires gcc[libffi], shouldn't that be virtual/libffi?

Reproducible: Always




Ebuild is in java overlay.

Andrew: any idea if icedtea6 doesn't care whether libffi is part of gcc or standalone library?

The standalone libffi merges changes to gcc, and otherway around, this was just done for 3.0.9 release.

Please just make it use virtual/libffi, and check how that is done in other reverse deps as you might need something like

append-cflags $(pkg-config --cflags-only-I libffi) in the ebuild

Fixed in icedtea-6.1.7. No special fiddling was needed in the end.
