Bug 114189 – no X support in pavuk even with USE=X enabled

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robert Persson 2005-12-01 13:40:05 UTC]

I have compiled net-misc/pavuk-0.9.32 with USE="X gnome", but when I try to run 
pavuk no X support appears to be available. 'pavuk --help' doesn't offer any X/
gnome/gui-related options that I can grep.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="X gnome" emerge pavuk
2. Try entering 'pavuk' in X console.
3. Try keying alt-f2 and entering 'pavuk'
4. Try entering 'pavuk --help' in an X console and grepping it every which way 
for gui-related words.

Actual Results:  
No gui

Expected Results:  
brought up a gui or given me a way to find out how to bring up a gui.

gcc-3.4.4

I have successfully installed pavuk-0.9.33 from the binary rpm with X enabled 
and working, if that helps you pin the problem down any.

pavuk has multiple GUI's, all of which were broken last time I checked. Which
one did you use from the RPM? Can you modify the ebuild to enable that one and
double-check it?

[Comment 3 Robert Persson 2005-12-02 04:57:48 UTC]

I simply downloaded the rpm and installed it --nodeps. It just works. alt-F2 
'pavuk' works and 'pavuk -X' from the console works, or at least the gui does. I 
don't know how to modify the ebuild. Sorry.

It seems --with-x was obsoleted, and now --disable-gtk controls if a GUI is built or not. The GUI builds fine with gcc-3.4, but bombs out with gcc-4.x (which is still acceptable at this point...).

Long story short, GUI support is now available through the gtk USE flag.

You can access the GUI running "pavuk -X".

Thanks for reporting!
