Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge eclipse-sdk (without emerging openmotif or lesstif first). 2. 3. Actual Results: eclipse fails to build spewing out error messages relating to Xm/Xm*.h and thence routine names relating to Xm (Motif/Lesstif). (I don't have them handy as I'm trying again using openmotif and forgot to save them. Argh!) Expected Results: The build should either include what it needs or complain up front. I'm not sure which. # emerge info Portage 2.0.50-r8 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.4.25-gentoo-r4) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.25-gentoo-r4 i686 Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 1.70GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 distcc 2.13 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled]Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r3 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /var/lib/jboss /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X Xaw3d alsa apache2 apm arts avi berkdb bonobo cdr crypt cups dvd encode esd flash foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 gtkhtml imap imlib java jpeg kde kerberos ldap libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mozilla mpeg ncurses nls oci8 oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib perl png python qt quicktime readline samba sdl slang snmp spell ssl svg svga tcltk tcpd tiff truetype unicode x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib" karltk@gentoo.org 2004-07-17 11:37:06 0000 This seems to be a bug in Portage. Consider the package dev-util/eclipse-sdk-2.1.3-r4: RDEPEND=">=virtual/jdk-1.3 || ( gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 ) kde? ( kde-base/kdelibs x11-libs/openmotif ) motif? ( x11-libs/openmotif ) >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 ) gnome? ( =gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2* ) mozilla? ( net-www/mozilla ) jikes? ( >=dev-java/jikes-1.19 ) " DEPEND="${RDEPEND} >=dev-java/ant-1.5.3 >=sys-apps/findutils-4.1.7 >=app-shells/tcsh-6.11 app-arch/unzip" According to Mr_Bones and the Portage man pages, the || ( ) should be attempted satisfied in order of appearance. Given gtk+ installed, but openmotif not installed, trying to merge with only 'kde' set, Portage will select the default case (gtk+), and not install neither kdebase nor openmotif. If I replace gtk+ with another package that I have not already installed, say dev-java/groovy, Portage will select the kde? option. It appears Portage rather selects the "fewest packages" instead of resolving the list in order. As the package later on relies heavily on which dependencies were installed, and picks them out from the USE flag list (using 'use'), this breaks. karltk@gentoo.org 2004-07-17 11:37:33 0000 Portage 2.0.51_pre13 (default-x86-2004.0, gcc-3.3.3, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r0, 2.6.7-gentoo-r1 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1400MHz) jstubbs@gentoo.org 2004-07-17 18:35:19 0000 This is a documentation bug rather than a code bug. In ebuild(5) there are two examples. The first says that the order does not matter and the second one says it does. The following is how it really works: RDEPEND="|| ( gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 ) kde? ( kde-base/kdelibs x11-libs/openmotif ) motif? ( x11-libs/openmotif ) >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 )" Portage will remove entries for which USE flags aren't enabled and then prefer any package that is already installed. If none are installed, the first in the list is taken. For example, USE="-gtk kde motif", x11-libs/openmotif is installed but kde-base/kdelibs is installed - portage selects "motif? ( x11-libs/openmotif )". If this is not the behaviour that is wanted, the order should be explicitly specified, such as: RDEPEND="gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 ) !gtk? ( kde? ( kde-base/kdelibs x11-libs/openmotif ) !kde? ( motif? ( x11-libs/openmotif ) !motif? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4 ) ) )" Alternately, using the first method, an ebuild could figure out which deps should be used with code similar to the following: MYUSE="" if use gtk && has_version '>=x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.4' then MYUSE="gtk" else if use kde && has_version 'kde-base/kdelibs' && has_version 'x11-libs/openmotif' then MYUSE="kde" else if use motif && has_version 'x11-libs/openmotif' MYUSE="motif" fi fi fi if [ -z "${MYUSE}" ] then if use gtk then MYUSE="gtk" else if use kde then MYUSE="kde" else if use motif then MYUSE="motif" else MYUSE="gtk" fi fi fi fi jstubbs@gentoo.org 2004-07-17 19:16:46 0000 I missed a "not" in the above... USE="-gtk kde motif", x11-libs/openmotif is installed but kde-base/kdelibs is NOT installed - portage selects "motif? ( x11-libs/openmotif )". karltk@gentoo.org 2004-07-20 06:20:01 0000 I'll take it back an rework it. Thanks. karltk@gentoo.org 2004-07-28 07:15:15 0000 Fixed for 3.0.0. Need to fix it for 2.1.3, too. karltk@gentoo.org 2004-07-31 16:36:33 0000 Fixed for 2.1.3 as well (in -r5).
