libgphoto2 ebuild sets myconf="--with-drivers=${GPHOTO_LIBS}" GPHOTO_LIBS is an empty variable and hence no drivers get built. Looking at the ebuild I think that this should probably be: myconf="--with-drivers=${cameras}" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
I can confirm this. Changing --with-drivers=${GPHOTO_LIBS} to --with-drivers=${cameras} solved the problem indeed.
i wonder how that crept in .. fixing in portage now. thanks for your report!
yikes ... i tested it with my canon s500 and setting cameras to 'canon' ... it worked for me; must have not committed the rest of the work :/ sorry guys :(
