On a clean system I could not emerge epplet-base successfully until I emerged esound. There is an include file with some definitions that were missing. Regards, Jeff Cunningham
Created attachment 11436 [details, diff] adding line >=media-sound/esound-0.2.28-r1 to DEPEND also applies to epplet-base-0.5
Esound is now a dependency of epplet-base. This issue is resolved.
this was fixed sometime ago
