Bugzilla Bug 4111

emerge --pretend kde => ...(a bunch of stuff)...kdeaddons...(more stuff)...

emerge --pretend kdeaddons => svgalib

svgalib wont compile on ppc.  the compiler output error messages mention
something about ASM, so i'm assuming it has to do with native x86 assembly language.

emerge search svgalib => svgalib (not masked, which i guess it should be)

i should also note that emerge --nodeps kdeaddons *does* work with no problems,
so its not too bad . . .

Dan:

Is the svgalib dep stricly needed (what requires it)?  I can compile it with
svgalib removed from the buildfile on my ppc and x86 with no problems anywhere I
have seen.

you can temporarily do this on ppc:

emerge -i media-libs/svgalib-1.4.3-r1

that will trick portage into thinking its really there and not fail your deps

I set the svgalib to only be a dep with USE="svga" (which would be defined as a
USE if needed on appropriate systems)... svga? ( media-libs/svgalib )

Initial bug was #3161 that required this dep to be added (user had built kdelibs
with svgalib installed and didn't rebuild kdelibs after uninstalling, causing a
failed dep)

I'm back (again, and I hope for the last time). You say there's an unregistered
kdelibs dep on svgalib? Where? I checked all my kde .so's and only the two from
kdeaddons link against libsvga. Or - how does libsvga being installed or not
afects the later compilation of kdeaddons?
