Description Paper 2003-07-23 17:34:41 UTC

the povray-2.50c ebuild check for presence of gcc 3.2 or later, but in fact it
dies if version is != 3.2
I successfully compiled it with gcc 3.3, so it should be safe to change the
check to "gcc version >= 3.2"

Looks like the povray ebuild needs more help than just that.

It allows the use of icc, but still does gcc version checking.  Seems like
it should DEPEND on >=gcc-3.2 but only if not USEing icc.  I think that would
be better than the current gcc version checking in pkg_setup.

pardon, you are discussing about this since july - there is a solution given
here and the ebuild haven't changed yet? well, at least version 3.5 still
contains that bug (although Markus <gentoo@jokey.tv> re-reported it more
than 2 weeks ago. Only a few lines to change - why does nobody do this?

Fixed, hopefully.

Sorry but since was a low priority task probably nobody had the time.
Remeber that developers do not get paid and do what they do in their free
time.
