Bug 13241 – media-video/xine-ui-0.9.17 fails on smp system due to lirc-0.6.5

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description lison 2003-01-04 10:01:43 UTC]

from compiling lirc

lirc_parallel.c:48:2: #error "--- Sorry, this driver is not SMP safe. ---

1. i would liek a USE flag for lirc
2. it needs to check wether it builds on an SMP system

[Comment 1 Dave Nellans 2003-01-05 12:25:26 UTC]

I can verify this bug and should be easily repeatable for everyone with a SMP
system, remove the lirc dependancy and it works 100% on a SMP machine.  Instead
of adding a USE flag for just 1 app we should check if the machine it is being
built on is SMP enabled and if so do not build lirc because it isn't a "true"
dependancy just an optional one.  If and when lirc becomes SMP safe we can
remove that check.

Ebuild that works also for SMP kernels

[Comment 3 Gualtiero Tramezzi 2003-01-05 16:19:32 UTC]

My ebuild works in this manner:
If the machine runs a SMP kernel do NOT compile the parallel module and leave a
message of this "problem"
if the machine runs a monoprocessor kernel the ebuild works as normal.

I have added lirc-0.6.6 with an SMP fix.  Please test this new version and let me know if you have any problems.
