[Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2014-10-30 12:12:26 UTC]

Given the useflags (and '--disable-gstreamer' in the log) it seems that there's a bug in the upstream configure script.

...though, seriously, could infra look into bug 520054 ?

*sigh*

They fscked up their build system really bad...

Looks like there's no open bug yet for this issue in bugzilla.mozilla.org, should I file one or is the Gentoo team going to do it?

[Comment 5 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) 2014-11-05 23:29:02 UTC]

It had to do with the way that we were trying to build seamonkey out-of-source.  It seems with mozilla33 they "fixed" the in-source builds while fully and irrevokably breaking out-of-source builds.  The ebuild has been set back to building in-source and things should work properly now.

Please reopen if you see issues.
