Description Russell Harmon 2009-03-14 20:43:45 UTC

Some 32bit only apps need these libraries, specifically pcsx2 - see bug #141626. I have modified the ebuild to install both versions.

Comment 2 Dennis Schridde 2009-03-14 22:15:56 UTC

I think the standard way is to create an app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-* package for such libraries.

Comment 3 Russell Harmon 2009-03-14 22:22:36 UTC

Then let this bug be a request for a app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-nvidia-cg-toolkit.

Comment 4 Dennis Schridde 2009-03-14 22:59:46 UTC

I'd summarise bug #262484 and this one into a app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-gllibs package, to prevent creating too many of them.

There already is an opengl use flag for app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs which installs mesa. Also, the nvidia-cg-toolkit is a binary only package... I don't think the devs will want to include a binary only package with a package where you can at least get the source for it.

I think that creating a new emul package simply for providing this binary package wouldn't make much sense, on the other hand, handling this from nvidia-cg-toolkit ebuild looks much more easy and reasonable for me (something like is currently being done with www-plugins/adobe-flash for example)

Comment 7 Dennis Schridde 2011-01-03 08:42:08 UTC

See the pcsx2 overlay [1] (now unmaintained) for an example how the ebuild could look like.

Was there any progress or investigation on this issue in the past year?
