xterm-184, when installed as part of the xorg-x11 ebuild, will fail if Xaw3d is not already installed. Installing this library separately fixes the problem. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
It has Xaw3d USE as of earlier today. Try it out. Invalid since the problem has already (presumably) been fixed.
there's an error in the build "`use_with Xaw3d`" should be "`use_enable Xaw3d`" after changing this, ebuild works without Xaw3d
OK thanks.
Created attachment 29069 [details] xterm ebuild It seems that with the change I proposed ebuild works flawlessy without Xaw3d libs but xterm doesn't use them when USE "Xaw3d" is enabled I think this is due to strange options in configure, that uses --with-Xaw3d and --disable-Xaw3d instead of --with/--without or --enable/--disable I submit a working ebuild, that uses EXTRA_CONF instead of "use_enable"
There is no --disable-Xaw3d option to configure. --with-Xaw3d is the only option containing Xaw3d, and any other option will disable it (--without-Xaw3d, --disable-Xaw3d, --foo-Xaw3d will all work, all it does is test for --with-Xaw3d). Read or grep configure for yourself.
as you wish, but if you leave "use_with Xaw3d" configure doesn't recognize --without-Xaw3d and the result of USE="-Xaw3d" emerge xterm-184.ebuild is a failure with this output (with Xaw3d not installed): configure: error: Unable to successfully link Athena library (-lXaw3d) with test program !!!

It's a little confusing what you wrote, but I'll fix it so the --without isn't produced.
I'm very sorry for my awful english, I can't express myself as clearly as I would wish to. :(
