XineramaIsActive

According to http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-426598-highlight-.html bitpim
works with gtk+-2.8.8, but not with newer versions (I haven't checked myself
though).

I did try remerging wxGTK and wxpython though, but that didn't help.

I don't think it has anything to do with gtk version.
On my computer, XineramaIsActive symbol is defined in /usr/lib/libXinerama.so,
library installed by xorg-x11 package.

1) do you have this library on your computer?
2) if you have, does define this input? what output does the "objdump
--dynamic-syms /usr/lib/libXinerama.so | grep XineramaIsActive" command have?

sif ~ # ls /usr/lib/libXinerama.so*
/usr/lib/libXinerama.so    /usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1.0.0
/usr/lib/libXinerama.so.1


sif ~ # objdump --dynamic-syms /usr/lib/libXinerama.so | grep XineramaIsActive
000010b0 g    DF .text  0000011a  Base        XineramaIsActive

hmmm... seems you're right.

probably I will dump this bin version (with tons of libraries in it) and make
our own source tarball, taken from upstream svn. unfortunately I don't have the
time right now so it may take awhile.

in the meantime, I've added =x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.8* to RDEPEND.

I'm sorry but the source of this package is too much for me to handle.
If someone dare to step up and create a working ebuild based on the source
tarball obtained as a result of the commands:
  svn export https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/bitpim/releases/0.8.09
bitpim-0.8.09
  tar -cvzf bitpim-0.8.09.tar.gz bitpim-0.8.09
I'll be glad to review it.

Otherwise, I think this package will have a very short life into portage tree.

in the above mentioned svn source there is
bitpim-0.8.09/buildrelease/unixpkg/bitpim.ebuild

it complains about a package called dev-python/dsv not being 
in portage. i may have a look at it later, maybe 
it just works :)

I hate to discourage you, but I tried to make a working ebuild using that file
as a starting point... and I failed ;)

Please see bug 127966. It has a source build that may fix this problem. Please
test.

bitpim dependency on the right gtk version will be fixed by bug 127966.
closed as FIXED (see comment 3).
