Description giovanni.bobbio 2002-12-31 11:07:04 UTC
1) The ebuild depends on gtk 1.2.x. In my strictly KDE/QT system it wouldn't build because this dependency wasn't listed. After adding gtk it worked.  2) The ebuild creates /etc/sysconfig containing an 'irda' config file which is not used to define the service parameters. The /etc/conf.d/irda config file is used instead. The ebuild also creates a network-scripts directory containing another config file the purpose of which I do not know. I doubt that it ever gets used since as far as I can tell gentoo never looks in /etc/sysconfig.  It seems that the /etc/sysconfig directory is a leftover from the original redhattish build and should be removed, moving whatever is useful to a place where gentoo will find it.  Ciao, Giovanni

Can you try the 0.9.15 ebuild of irda-utils?  This version doesn't install the
/etc/sysconfig stuff.  I am investigating the gtk issue.  I don't see any
dependence on gtk in the build process, but there is a glib dependence.  Is that
what you mean?

Okay. I just had someone build 0.9.15 on a system with no gtk, so I think that
glib was the problem.  I have updated the ebuild.  Thanks for the bug report.
