The attached ebuild emerges cleanly on my machine.

[Comment 2 Oleg Akimov 2009-12-07 12:41:14 UTC]

i have compiled ebuild on my laptop after some work:

1. i have added freetype headers in include path:

kim@buki ~ $ freetype-config --cflags
-I/usr/include/freetype2

kim@buki ~ $ grep INCLUDES config.mk 
INCLUDES = -I. -I$(ROOT)/include -I$(INCLUDE) -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/freetype2

this fix problem with this:

MAKE all cmd/wmii/
CC cmd/wmii/area.o
In file included from /usr/include/X11/Xft/Xft.h:39,
                 from ../../include/x11.h:9,
                 from cmd/wmii/dat.h:18,
                 from cmd/wmii/area.c:4:
/usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory


2. i have installed x11-proto/xineramaproto

this fix problem with this:

CC cmd/wmii/x11.o
CC cmd/wmii/xext.o
cmd/wmii/xext.c:7:37: error: X11/extensions/Xinerama.h: No such file or directory

For me this wasn't enough (I was using wmii from hg, which is a copyt of the 3.9_beta1 ebuild with fixes for the above). Compiling wmii ends with:

LD cmd/wmii/wmii.out
/var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/wmii-9999/work/wmii/cmd/wmii/bar.c:254: undefined reference to `XUngrabPointer'

<and a lot more of this>

wmii 3.9 was released yesterday!

some proposed ebuild improvements

I have been using this ebuild to install wmii. Changes are:

- only install (useflag) selected alternative wmiirc
- support both hg and releases
- do not install file DISTRIBUTORS
- install wmii.doc only if useflag 'doc' is set
- use 'exec /usr/bin/wmii' (for safety reasons)
- add some FIXMEs/TODOs
- probably some more changes

You might want to incorporate some of these when bumping the ebuild

Ebuild proposal

This ebuild inherits several problems from its predecessors. For one thing, it uses an internal libixp which it builds and then links statically to  (while the ebuild also DEPENDs on sys-libs/libixp which is then not used). For another, we don't do nearly enough patching to adhere to Gentoo QA standards. I've tried cleaning up the ebuild and do more sensible patching, but I have nothing better to attach right now.
