Bugzilla Bug 91132

For the fun of it, I tried emerging erlang. It emerged, but I don't know enough
about erlang to see if it's working properly. Hello world and the like seem to
work.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="~x86" emerge erlang
2. erl
Actual Results:  
Got erlang installed

Expected Results:  
Um, maybe it should be done with USE="~alpha" instead of ~x86

a good test would be to emerge erlang-10.2.5 and wings ... if wings
emerges/runs, that's a pretty good test (requires X btw)

Wings-0.98.29b, esdl-0.94.0125 and erlang-10.2.5 all seem to emerge cleanly,
however when I start wings, it immediately segfaults.  Since the wings startup
script calls erl, I suspect something is wrong with erlang.

wings seems to need OpenGL which I don't have on the alpha's since I connect
trough ssh+vnc; but wings doesn't segfault.

Some silly tests say erlang is working fine; I also merged ejabberd (it is
written in erlang) and seems to work fine.

If any of you have an OpenGL-enabled alpha and could re-test wings it will be
much appreciated; I used the following versions:

---8<---
[ebuild   R   ] media-gfx/wings-0.98.29b  0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] dev-lang/erlang-10.2.7  +X -doc -emacs (-java) -odbc +ssl 0 kB 
[ebuild   R   ] media-libs/esdl-0.95.0630  0 kB
---8<---

I think erlang is ready to go ~alpha; but I'd like someone to test wings to be
on the safe side.

Cheers,
Ferdy

Screenshot of Wings on my Alpha

After emerging the versions from the previous comment with the java keyword
disabled, wings starts up just fine and seems to work ok.

I marked the three of them ~alpha. Thanks a lot for testing Mike.

Cheers,
Ferdy
