Bug 67127 – screen enables nethack messages though corr. USE flag not set

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Horst Schirmeier 2004-10-11 11:08:07 UTC]

The ebuild author tried to address the "nethack" USE flag with

use nethack && append-flags "-DNETHACK"

though #define NETHACK is default anyways, resulting in screen being compiled with a config.h #define NETHACK though the corresponding USE flag is not set.

use nethack && append-flags "-DNETHACK" || append-flags "-DNONETHACK"

or

use nethack || append-flags "-DNONETHACK"

resolves the problem. See attached patch.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE=-nethack emerge screen
2. touch ~/.nethackrc
3. screen -ls

Actual Results:  
Your inventory:
        9111.pts-0.nexus        (Attached)
        12057.pts-17.nexus      (Attached)
2 Sockets in /var/run/screen/S-bigfoot.

Expected Results:  
There are screens on:
        9111.pts-0.nexus        (Attached)
        12057.pts-17.nexus      (Attached)

Fixed in CVS. I did not bump the revision as this only affects a minority of users.
