Currently app-emulation/dosemu has =sys-libs/slang-1.4* dependency, but it's Changelog claims it supports slang 2 since the end of 2004. With following patch it seems to build fine with slang-2.app-emulation/dosbox
Created attachment 98240 [details, diff] Patch for slang 2 support
sys-libs/slang-2* is package.masked, so...
So...? I have an ebuild for a snapshot of mc, which uses slang 2 and works just fine.
Can you make the patch so it supports both slang 1 and 2 (and preferrably uses 2 if available)? And then push it upstream?
Well, the problem is that my patch solves a Gentoo-only problem - you have decided to rename =>slang-2.0.0 to libslang-2, now you have to face those problems alone. Dosemu supports slang-2 out of the box, but only if it's libslang.
liquidx, is it planned to keep this renaming of slang?
fixed in 1.3.4
