Since gtk2 flag was deprecated (Bug# 106560) the ebuild for xcdroast fails with the following error, even though I have gtk2 on my system: checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.3... yes checking for gtk-config... no checking for GTK - version >= 1.2.3... no *** The gtk-config script installed by GTK could not be found *** If GTK was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in *** your path, or set the GTK_CONFIG environment variable to the *** full path to gtk-config. configure: error: Test for GTK failed. See the file 'INSTALL' for help.

I had to add the gtk flag in /etc/portage/package.use because otherwise xcdroast tried to bring in gdk-pixbuf, which, through a chain of dependencies, wanted to bring in gtk+-1 (which I try not to have on my system). As far as I know xcdroast should work fine with gtk2 (and it did as long as gtk2 flag was present). In fact the ebuild says: DEPEND="gtk? ( >=x11-libs/gtk+-2.0.3 ) !gtk? ( >=media-libs/gdk-pixbuf-0.16.0 )" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. cat "app-cdr/xcdroast gtk" >> /etc/portage/package.use 3. emerge -uN1Dtav world Actual Results: xcdroast ebuild fails with the above message.

It should work by changing $(use_enable gtk) to $(use_enable gtk gtk2), but the proper fix is removing the gtk/2 flag altogether and always building the more stable interface (whether that's the gtk1 or gtk2 interface is the maintainer's decision); that was the whole point of bug #106560.
Please don't assign bugs unless you know where they go, reassigning. Lars, it doesn't look like you've quite done the switch correctly. You need to pick either the gtk1 or gtk2 interface to use as default. As such, xcdroast shouldn't even need to use the "gtk" use flag. Right now it defaults to gtk+-1 and uses gtk+-2 if USE="gtk" which isn't the correct behaviour. If you want the default to be gtk2, you'll need to change the use_enable line to $(use_enable gtk gtk2).
Yes you are absolutly right. I was my mistake because i thought that this app was enabled gtk2 by default.
Aargh! Please review dependencies! Despite being now gtk2 only, it requires gdk-pixbuf, which in turn requires gtk+-1.2. Is gdk-pixbuf really needed? It wasn't before all this gtk/gtk2 mess.
Fixed... indeed gdk-pixbuf isn't needed for gtk2.
