Whenever I want to install XBMC on a machine, I want the OS to be as clean as possible. This is my first reason for choosing Gentoo. Since I want it to be as clean as possible, I do NOT want any desktop profile, so I just choose "default/linux/amd64/10.0". Since this does not come with the opengl use flag, the xbmc-9999 ebuild will not work. In recent xbmc-9999 I saw you removed the opengl use flag and enable opengl unconditionally. But XBMC needs libsdl with opengl support, so the dependency on libsdl in the xbmc ebuild should have the opengl use flag set. Pseudo-patch: - media-libs/libsdl[alsa,audio,video,X] + media-libs/libsdl[alsa,audio,opengl,video,X] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. select profile default/linux/amd64/10.0 2. emerge =xbmc-9999 3. Actual Results: XBMC compiles fine, but cannot start because SDL is lacking OpenGL support.
