Bugzilla Bug 127599

Hi,

I've been using more recent versions of SSWF (Flash generator) recently than
are available in Portage.

Figured I might as well submit the latest ebuild here that I use, as it's one
of those ebuilds that's trivially simple and Just Works. :)

Will create an attachment with the ebuild.  It works fine "as is" on my system
at least. :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

Created an attachment (id=83136) [details]
Ebuild for sswf version 1.7.4. (Complete ebuild - it's only a few lines - not a
patch)

This is a complete ebuild script - it's only a few lines - rather than a patch
or anything.  Able to be dropped right in.

There is multiple faults in your ebuild,

This is wrong, look at /usr/portage/header.txt

inherit eutils
--cut--

Eutils doesn't actually do anything in this ebuild, so drop whole line.

DEPEND="sys-libs/zlib
        media-libs/jpeg
        media-libs/freetype
        sys-devel/bison"
---cut--

zlib, jpeg and freetype are both RDEPENDs and DEPENDs so change that to RDEPEND
and add line DEPEND="${RDEPEND}". What it comes to bison, it might be only
DEPEND so check that too.

src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
        cd ${S}
}
--cut--

You can remove whole src_unpack() if you don't do anything but unpack and cd
there.

--cut--
src_compile() {
        econf \
                $(use_enable debug) \
                || die "Configuration Failed!"

        emake || die "Make Failed"
}
--cut--

Looks a bit weird, make econf $(use_enable debug) || die "econf failed" in one
line without \

--cut--
src_install () {
        make DESTDIR=${D} install || die
}
--cut--

Use emake instead of make because for example Gentoo/FreeBSD doesn't use gmake
as default make command and it might break the build.

Actually emake install might not always work _especially_ on G/FBSD, as most
install-sh files are non-parallel-make compatible.

On the other hand, emake -j1 makes more sense, and does respect users' choice
on other options for make.

sswf-1.7.5.ebuild

Draft ebuild. I never got to src_install because it dies in src_compile, by
looks of it, an compilation error caused by recent gcc; even with provided
g++-4.x patch from upstream (see SRC_URI)

Also, upstream mentions 1.8.0 (beta, with some flash 8 funcs) but download link
in their page is dead..

Allright, 1.8.0 is in Portage (still in CVS). Thanks Justin!

Heh, just noticed this follow up info.

Don't remember getting any notification via email though (thus my lack of
attention).

Maybe my spam filters at the time...?  Oh well, it's fixed now. ;->

Thanks guys. :)
