• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description deadline2005 2005-10-24 04:42:15 UTC]

I am trying to build the 'media-tv/rivatv' (version media-tv/rivatv-0.8.2)
module from portage, 'emerge media-tv/rivatv' results in following error:

No problems found.
To build RivaTV type `make'.  For cleaning up type `make clean`.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install 2.6.13-gentoo-r3 kernel and configure as required for the rivatv module
2.emerge media-tv/rivatv


Actual Results:  
emerge/compile error
not able to build the module


Please don't advise not to use the module, since my videocard does not need it
for TV output. i need this module as requirement for i2c and lm_sensors.

Can you try to emerge the latest test ebuild and see if that has the same issue?

Thanks!

Hi Bart,

i have now tried to build 'media-tv/rivatv' with the ~x86 keyword set. this
emerged version media-tv/rivatv-0.8.6 and it has built the package fine. there
were some warnings/errors in the compile process, but the module was installed
correctly. let me just try out if the module really works now and we can close
this bug as resolved. do you agree?

thanks a lot for your effort.

I am closing this bug in the assumption it works for you. Please reopen this bug if needed.
