Description Andreas Wiese 2011-01-11 15:17:19 UTC 
When building www-servers/lighttpd (at least up to 1.4.28) with USE=libev and libev > 4.0 installed, configure phase fails because libev-API changed with 4.0 and lighttpd isn't aware of this yet (ev_loop() is gone).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install >=dev-libs/libev-4.0
2. try to install www-servers/lighttpd with USE=libev
3. fail

Actual Results:  
checking for ev_loop in -lev... no
configure: error: libev not found


Expected Results:  
checking for ev_loop in -lev... yes

You should alter RDEPEND to state 'libev? ( =dev-libs/libev-3* )' or similar.

As libev 4.0 enables the backward compat api by default, it is just a bug in the libev detection; replacing ev_loop with ev_time in the configure scripts should work, similar to
