Full Text Bug Listing

I tried emerging advancemenu-2.4.9 with several configurations on two different
systems.

First with
[ebuild  N    ] games-emulation/advancemenu-2.4.9  +alsa -debug +expat -fbcon
+ncurses +oss +sdl +slang +static -svga +truetype +zlib
resulted in an error telling me thas alsalib was not found. But I am absolutely
sure, it is installed:

*  media-libs/alsa-lib
      Latest version available: 1.0.8
      Latest version installed: 1.0.8

Next, I disabled alsa:
[ebuild  N    ] games-emulation/advancemenu-2.4.9  -alsa -debug +expat -fbcon
+ncurses +oss +sdl +slang +static -svga +truetype +zlib

now configure interrupts with an error that sdl was not found, but also this
time I am sure, it is installed:

*  media-libs/libsdl
      Latest version available: 1.2.8-r1
      Latest version installed: 1.2.8-r1

last, I disabled the sdl flag:
[ebuild  N    ] games-emulation/advancemenu-2.4.9  -alsa -debug +expat -fbcon
+ncurses +oss -sdl +slang +static -svga +truetype +zlib

but this time configure stopped with:
configure: error: no video library found. If you have the SDL library installed
somewhere try using the --with-sdl-prefix option.


(Other ebuilds find alsa and sdl)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. as root: emerge advancemenu
2.
3.

emerge output

output of emerge advancemenu using +alsa and +sdl

let's have the config.log from the build directory please.  Attach it as
text/plain.  So far, I suspect you've been neglecting some local maintenance,
but the log will make it more clear.

Created an attachment (id=62416) [details]
/var/tmp/portage/advancemenu-2.4.9/work/advancemenu-2.4.9/config.log

Till now, I did not know, that this file is kept when errors occure...

looks like remerging glibc and alsa-lib might help.  Just for fun, let's see
the
output from "emerge -evp world" before you kick that off.

Created an attachment (id=62418) [details]
emerge -evp world > emerge_-evp_world

looks clean.  thanks for doing that.  proceed with the glibc and alsa-lib
remerge and see if that clears things up for you wrt advancemenu.

just started emerge glibc alsa-lib
It will probably take a rather long time, because I have not ccache installed on
that system and my computer is not really fast. nptl is set, but nptlonly is unset.

Now, I've done:

emerge glibc alsa-lib

still the same problem

darn.  does running revdep-rebuild turn up anything?

revdep-rebuild does not find any problems:

well, my next guess is that this is caused by you having set pic in your use
flags.

Thank you for your help. I'll post the result tomorrow.

both packets successfully remerged with -pic
still the same problem

USE=pic does not cause issues for anyone ... the use of it in gzip/glibc is
unrelated

it's failing because of the static USE flag

when linking against libasound.a you have to add -lpthread to your linking flags
if you're using -static ... libasound.so has the info recorded in the lib itself
so you can just do -lasound

in this case, the configure.ac is misbehaving in that it uses AC_CHECK_LIB() on
libasound instead of consulting the alsa.pc file installed for pkg-config ... if
we update configure.ac like this, it should work:
elif test $ac_lib_alsa = yes; then
    AC_CHECK_LIB(
        [asound],
        [snd_pcm_open],
        [],
        [AC_MSG_ERROR([the ALSA library is missing])],
-        [-lm]
+        [`pkg-config alsa --libs`]
    )
    AC_MSG_CHECKING([for ALSA version])
    AC_TRY_COMPILE([
            #include <alsa/asoundlib.h>
        ], [
            #if SND_LIB_VERSION < ((0<<16)|(9<<8)|0)
            choke me

So, if I just remove the static flag an do a emerge world --newuse it should
work. 

I tested it on a system with everything compiled -static. Emerges cleanly.

With your patch it should also work for +static, right?
Well, I applied this patch, created a new ebuild and tried to emerge it. But I
still get the same error.

added patch to 2.4.10 in cvs, thanks for the bug report
