When I tried to build x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7 with -sna, configure said "No default acceleration option". I think the ebuild should require at least one of the acceleration methods to be selected with USE flags. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. set the USE flag -sna 2. emerge xf86-video-intel Actual Results: xf86-video-intel was not built Expected Results: portage should have complained about missing use flags checking which acceleration method to use by default... configure: error: No default acceleration option !!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7/work/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7_build/config.log * ERROR: x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7 failed (configure phase): * econf failed * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 85: Called src_configure * environment, line 4107: Called xorg-2_src_configure * environment, line 4968: Called autotools-utils_src_configure * environment, line 766: Called econf '--docdir=/usr/share/doc/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7' '--enable-dri' '--disable-glamor' '--disable-sna' '--disable-uxa' '--disable-xvmc' * phase-helpers.sh, line 503: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "econf failed" * * If you need support, post the output of `emerge --info '=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7'`, * the complete build log and the output of `emerge -pqv '=x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7'`. * The complete build log is located at '/tmp/x11-drivers:xf86-video-intel-2.20.7:20120913-162405.log'. * For convenience, a symlink to the build log is located at '/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7/temp/environment'. * Working directory: '/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7/work/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7_build' * S: '/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7/work/xf86-video-intel-2.20.7'
Well, the useflag was "+sna" for a reason, on the other hand REQUIRED_USE would be a more natural solution. Though, a minor request - unless there's a technical reason to do otherwise, could pixman dep of the 2.20 driver lowered to non-development version ? It seems to build and work with it.
The report is valid. The package will fail to build with all acceleration methods disabled, and REQUIRED_USE can make sure that at least one is enabled. > could pixman dep of the 2.20 driver lowered to non-development version ? It > seems to build and work with it. It will work, but you will get a different result (see line 121 of configure.ac).
Fixed in CVS.
@comment 2: not that I'm sure about it, but didn't glyph cache get postponed to xorg-server 1.14 (due to no 0.28 of pixman yet) ?
