Description kfm 2012-06-29 07:38:29 UTC

It is impossible to build dropbear with USE="static" unless dev-libs/libtommath is built with USE="static-libs" but this requirement is not reflected in any of the ebuilds. Hence, the build fails unless the user manually ensures that this dependency is satisfied.

Comment 1 kfm 2012-06-29 10:10:52 UTC

Upon further investigation, I realized that libtommath isn't strictly required for the build to succeed. Nevertheless, if libtommath is installed then dropbear will fail unless the aforementioned package/flag combination is satisfied.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!
