Description Joshua Downer 2011-09-14 18:32:03 UTC

The dependencies are not set up correctly for installing gource. Gource depends upon libsdl, which is in the dependencies, but it needs to be the version of libsdl with video enabled. Trying to run gource will result in the following message,

gource: SDL initialization failed - SDL not built with video support

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge gource
2. execute gource on a git/svn repo as $ gource <path/to/repo>
3. The error message reported above will be displayed in the terminal
Actual Results:  
Gource does not execute and echoes the following message to the terminal,

gource: SDL initialization failed - SDL not built with video support

Expected Results:  
Gource runs without error

Nice catch. This is an handy patch for Diego to apply. Note i didn't tested it for now (i'm at work), but since it is very simple it should just work i hope ;)
