Bugzilla Bug 51852

Ok, while sdl-mixer claims to depend on libmikmod. It actually doesn't. It
includes an old version of libmikmod and links it in statically. This causes
for example that the mod garbling on amd64 will not be fixed by the libmikmod
patch.

There are two options to fix sdl-mixer. First to remove the mikmod dependency
from sdl-mixer. Another one, rather, but more dangerous (should be tested
first) is to apply some patches to make it build against an external mikmod.
I'll attach the needed patchfile, but it also changes some parts of the source
so that's where the danger is. I didn't thoroughly test the patches on the area
of building with other packages and running well.

Created an attachment (id=31901) [details]
1.2.5-libmikmod.patch

The patch that enables building against the external libmikmod

Created an attachment (id=31903) [details]
sdl-mixer-1.2.5-r2.ebuild

The ebuild that applies the patch. Note that it also has added die options if
the patching fails !!!

used a slightly different patch and added to portage, thanks

The new ebuild does not work if the user does not USE mikmod. I have "-mikmod"
in my make.conf, and emerge fails with the error

ld: cannot find -lmikmod

i suck at life

seems to be an autoconf bug ... i'll poke around

Re: Comment #4
in case this hasn't already been fixed:

use_enable line in sdl-mixer-1.2.5-r2.ebuild for mikmod appears to run correctly with `use_enable mikmod music-mod` rather than `use_enable mikmod mod` for users with USE="-mikmod"

After upgrading to r2, I get these from tuxracer but not from r1. No music is
played and I can never enter a race in tuxracer, it just halt.

%%% tuxracer warning: FAILED to load music file music/start1-jt.it: No error
%%% tuxracer warning: FAILED to load music file music/options1-jt.it: No error
%%% tuxracer warning: FAILED to load music file music/race1-jt.it: No error
%%% tuxracer warning: FAILED to load music file music/wonrace1-jt.it: No error

ah it was a bug in the ebuild ... the configure option is 'music-mod' not 'mod'

fixed in cvs, sorry about that

totally breaks stuff

*** Bug 52064 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

1.2.5-r1 includes a patch which fixes amd64 issues

as for not using system mikmod, we'll let upstream handle that
