Bugzilla Bug 41042

On amd64, emerging flac-1.1.0 with the xmms USE flag does not appear to
correctly install the flac xmms plugin (it is not available in the xmms plugin
menu, and xmms will not play flac files). libxmms-flac.a and libxmms-flac.la
seem to be the only flac-related files present in /usr/lib/xmms/Input/. All
other plugins install a shared object (.so) file in addition to the .la file,
and no .a archive. Other plugins _are_ present in the xmms menu, so xmms plugin
functionality works.

On x86, the flac-1.1.0 ebuild _does_ install a libxmms-flac.so shared object
into /usr/lib/xmms/Input/, and the plugin works correctly and appears in the
menu.

It appears that the plugin needs the stuff in src/plugin_common,
src/share/grabbag, src/share/gain_analysis, src/share/utf8 ... but that stuff
isn't getting installed so naturally the plugin fails when xmms tries to load
it.

Looks like plugin_common is being skipped for some reason... Then you get this
when building plugin_xmms:

*** Warning: This library needs some functionality provided by

ibplugin_common.a.

Running autogen.sh before compiling now gives this error, but libplugin_common
is compiling now:

*** Warning: Linking the shared library libxmms-flac.la against the
*** static library ../../src/plugin_common/libplugin_common.a is not portable!

well, building works perfectly here (CFLAGS="-O2 -fPIC -pipe"), but have a
look:

/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.a
/usr/lib/xmms/Input/libxmms-flac.la

huh? where's the .so and why do we have .a at all? Yes, USE="-static" was used!

Applying the patches from Fedora mentioned at
<URL:http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=913238&group_id=13478&atid=113478>
(and added as attachments here) solves this problem too.
