I have had problems compiling the vlc-0.8.4-r1 with skins flag, because it seems to imply the use of the freetype flag. This is the result on compilation with +skins -freetype: if i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cxxflags plugin skins2` -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -pipe -MT libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.Tpo" -c -o libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.o `test -f 'events/evt_scroll.cpp' || echo './'`events/evt_scroll.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.Tpo" ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-evt_scroll.Tpo"; exit 1; fi if i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -DSYS_LINUX -I../../../include `top_builddir="../../.." ../../../vlc-config --cxxflags plugin skins2` -Wsign-compare -Wsign-compare -Wall -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -pipe -MT libskins2_plugin_a-builder.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-builder.Tpo" -c -o libskins2_plugin_a-builder.o `test -f 'parser/builder.cpp' || echo './'`parser/builder.cpp; \ then mv -f ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-builder.Tpo" ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-builder.Po"; else rm -f ".deps/libskins2_plugin_a-builder.Tpo"; exit 1; fi In file included from parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:28, from parser/builder.cpp:35: /usr/include/ft2build.h:56:38: error: freetype/config/ftheader.h: No such file or directory In file included from parser/builder.cpp:35: parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:29:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:30:10: error: #include expects "FILENAME" or <FILENAME> parser/../src/ft2_font.hpp:60: error:

ERROR: media-video/vlc-0.8.4-r1 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 230, Exitcode 2 !!! make of VLC failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. Now with +skins +freetype the compilation completes successfully, so probably in some way freetype should be automatically selected in the ebuild on using the skins-use-flag. The other thing is that the ebuild does not installs the default skin, so the skins-interface could not be used on default installation: rm -rf ${D}/usr/share/vlc/skins2 ${D}/usr/share/doc/vlc \ ${D}/usr/share/vlc/vlc{16x16,32x32,48x48,128x128}.{png,xpm,ico} probably should be rm -rf ${D}/usr/share/doc/vlc \ ${D}/usr/share/vlc/vlc{16x16,32x32,48x48,128x128}.{png,xpm,ico} if ! use skins; then rm -rf ${D}/usr/share/vlc/skins2 fi
Fixed now (without revbump as I'm planning of doing one in the next days).
