Description Jaroslav Rakhmatoullin 2014-11-14 21:10:49 UTC

Created attachment 389330 [details]
configure detects a missing dep even though libva is installed

During the configuration stage, if x11-libs/libva is emerged without the X use flag, a missing dependency is detected;

checking for LIBVA... no
configure: error: No package 'libva-x11' found.

to solve the problem, enable X for x11-libs/libva, remerge,  and vlc will build.

This requirement should be specified in the ebuild. 

so instead of e.g

$ grep vaapi /usr/portage/media-video/vlc/vlc-2.1.2.ebuild -n

    144:		vaapi? ( x11-libs/libva:0 virtual/ffmpeg[vaapi] )

..the ebuild could specify something like:

    vaapi? ( x11-libs/libva[X]:0 virtual/ffmpeg[vaapi] )

I'm not sure about the correct syntax or if this is desirable in "all cases".

Thanks!
