I recently tried to build a minimal system without gettext and noticed that x11-libs/libXpm won't compile without gettext installed. This is the error I got: make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7/work/libXpm-3.5.7/src' Making all in sxpm make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7/work/libXpm-3.5.7/sxpm' i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -I../include -I../include -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -fno-strict-aliasing -march=prescott -O2 -pipe -fno-ident -MT sxpm.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/sxpm.Tpo -c -o sxpm.o sxpm.c sed -e 's|__vendorversion__|"libXpm 3.5.7" "X Version 11"|' -e 's|__xorgversion__|"libXpm 3.5.7" "X Version 11"|' -e 's|__xservername__|Xorg|g' -e 's|__xconfigfile__|xorg.conf|g' -e 's|__projectroot__|/usr|g' -e 's|__apploaddir__||' -e 's|__appmansuffix__|1|g' -e 's|__libmansuffix__|3|g' -e 's|__adminmansuffix__|8|g' -e 's|__miscmansuffix__|7|g' -e 's|__filemansuffix__|5|g' < sxpm.man > sxpm.1 xgettext -c"L10N_Comments" -d sxpm -n ./sxpm.c /bin/sh: xgettext: command not found make[2]: *** [sxpm.po] Error 127 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... sxpm.c:113: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:114: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:115: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:116: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:143: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:582: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:620: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:678: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:725: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype sxpm.c:737: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype mv -f .deps/sxpm.Tpo .deps/sxpm.Po make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7/work/libXpm-3.5.7/sxpm' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7/work/libXpm-3.5.7' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: x11-libs/libXpm-3.5.7 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2923: Called x-modular_src_compile * environment, line 3708: Called x-modular_src_make * environment, line 3744: Called die Either the libXpm ebuild needs to depend on gettext, or the use of xgettext needs to be removed (if that is possible). Thanks a lot, Bernhard Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create system with USE="-nls" 2. emerge --depclean OR emerge -C gettext 3. emerge x11-libs/libXpm
