Description Jean-Pierre de la Croix (jdelacroix) 2012-11-09 10:08:37 UTC

focuswriter can be built successfully without media-libs/sdl-mixer[wav], since it doesn't link against it.

If sdl-mixer is not installed, focuswriter will simply notify the user during runtime that sdl-mixer is missing when attempting to play sounds.

So, perhaps the sdl USE flag can let users decide whether they care to have sounds play in focuswriter or not?

The caveat is that if sdl-mixer is already installed, USE="-sdl" would not actually disable sdl-mixer (and therefore, sound playing) support in focuswriter.

This seems like the perfect candidate for the oft discussed "suggested/recommended" depend.

In the meantime, perhaps we should removed the dependency and add an elog?

I tend to thing that this caveat is large enough to avoid adding a new flag.
