Trying to compile mpio-0.7.1_pre2 on my machine irremediably fails during the first parts of the build. Indeed, here's the failure point: *** configure: WARNING: you need at least version 0.1.7 of the libusb library for USB support *** http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/ *** If you cannot find the appropriate version, try CVS It should be noted that libusb-0.1.10a is currently installed. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install latest x86 libusb (0.1.10a) 2. Try installing mpio-0.7.1_pre2. Actual Results: mpio's configure complains about not finding libusb. Expected Results: mpio's configure script should detect the present libusb installation.
You didn't include the output of emerge --info as instructed on the bug submission page. Please do that.

Downgrading to dev-libs/libusb-0.1.7-r1 works. It's the same if you try to build manually from source. Maybe some error in the makefiles?
Autoconf version checking is obviously wrong (string comparison): if test "$LIBUSB_VER" \< "0.1.7"; then AC_MSG_WARN([ *** You need at least version 0.1.7 of the libusb library for USB support *** http://sourceforge.net/projects/libusb/ *** If you cannot find the appropriate version, try CVS ]) exit 1 fi What is funny is that it's a copy/paste from libgphoto2, where it is just used to display a warning because it is known to be broken, but it has been made fatal in mpio. The proper fix would be to use a real version comparison macro like ax_compare_version, but i guess for the need of making this ebuild work ripping out the offending chunk would be enough.
Created attachment 85672 [details, diff] removing libusb version check in configure script. add unpack section to the build: src_unpack() { unpack ${A} cd "${S}" epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-libusb.patch } Please check the patch and close a bug.
it should be also one more line in ebuild: inherit eutils
*** Bug 134968 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 94106 [details] use this ebuild and the patch above to compile.
