Description TheOmega 2007-04-22 17:37:28 UTC
The media-video/mmsv2 ebuild doesnt check all depencies:
1. You have to select either the sdl or the svga useflag because otherwise the program is not usuable. So the ebuild should check this because mms doesnt give out a failurenotice if there is no output-module compiled in
2. The whole software depends uppon libpng emerged
3. The whole software depends uppon media-libs/imlib emerged. 

2 and 3 are quite weird: You can compile mms but it is unable to display the interface correctly but no error tells this.

Finding these depencies took me several hours, so please include them into the ebuild to make other people avoid this problem.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unemerge libpng and imlib
2. Compile mms with USEFLAGS="-*" => Not usuable
3. Compile mms with USEFLAGS="sdl" => Still not usubable (missing libs)
4. emerge libpng and imglib => Usuable

Actual Results:  
Fails to run (missing useflags) or damaged interface (missing libs)

Expected Results:  
Running Program
