Summary: x11-misc/adesklets-0.6.1-r1 fails to disable fontconfig leading to run-time error

Description:   Opened: 2007-02-11 02:01 0000
The issue arises with adesklets 0.6.1 and fontconfig >= 2.4.  

The USE flag fontconfig causes a needed fontconfig 2.4 patch to be applied
when fontconfig 2.4 or higher is installed.  If the USE flag fontconfig
is not used, however, the adesklets package auto-detects for fontconfig,
and will fail to apply the needed patch, resulting in a run-time error with
adesklets.

I believe the fix for this would be to explicitly de-activate fontconfig
in the ebuild:

src_compile ()
{
   ...

   use fontconfig || myconf="${myconf} --without-fontconfig"

   ...
}

Another workaround may be to always apply the fontconfig patch,
instead of conditionally around use fontconfig.


Reproducible: Always

Fixed latest revision. Previous one doesn't handle fontconfig at all. Thanks
for the submission!
