Description Darren Smith 2010-01-16 21:39:03 UTC

xbmc fails to configure on up to date ~x86 system:
checking for main in -lsmbclient... no
configure: error: Could not find a required library. Please see the README for your platform.

Currently, xbmc-9.11 has a dependency on net-fs/samba. The ~x86 net-fs/samba ebuild is a meta package that only installs net-fs/samba-libs (if no USE flags are enabled). This is insufficient as libsmbclient does not get installed. Instead of depending on net-fs/samba, xbmc should depend on net-fs/samba-libs[smbclient].

Note: I'm guessing xbmc builds fine with the stable net-fs/samba ebuild.

Reproducible: Always
