Description Zak Kipling 2009-06-02 14:05:01 UTC

(1) It fails to find /usr/include/netpbm/ppm.h from media-libs/netpbm (looking instead for /usr/include/ppm.h). Configuring this correctly with --with-ppm_incdir (instead of the unsupported --with-libppm) only partially helps: the configure script now detects it, but the (broken) Makefile doesn't pass the appropriate -I option to the compiler, leading to a compile error. Using flag-o-matic and adding

  append-flags -I/usr/include/netpbm

in addition to --with-ppm_incdir=/usr/include/netpbm appears to work.


(2) The colormaps and overlays are installed in /usr/share/ncview, but the application is build to look in /usr/lib/ncview. Setting NCVIEW_LIB_DIR when calling emake from src_compile (as already done in src_install) fixes this.


(3) 1.93c is out of date; 1.93g is the latest upstream version. Bar the above issues which affect both versions, the ebuild appears to work fine with the new version.


Full ebuild patch to follow.
