Bug 15529 – avifile 0.7.29.20030204 fails to compile when libsdl 1.2.5-r1 is compiled with certain USE flags

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frantz Dhin 2003-02-11 19:10:00 UTC]

When I compile libsdl with the following USE flags I am able to successfully
emerge avifile.
media-libs/libsdl-1.2.5-r1  +arts +xv +opengl +fbcon +aalib +nas +esd +X +svga
+ggi +alsa
However I normally use the following USE flag combination:
media-libs/libsdl-1.2.5-r1  -arts -xv -opengl -fbcon -aalib -nas -esd +X +svga
-ggi -alsa

This makes compilation of avifile fail:

Forgive me for not narrowing the USE flags down a little more. My cpu is not the
most speedy in the world.
imo this is a critical issue since the particular combination of USE flags in my
make.conf would make it impossible to emerge gnome 2.2, which is what I was
trying to do in the first place.

I have the following USE flags, and it fails to compile here too: 
+arts +xv +opengl -fbcon -aalib -nas +esd +X +svga +alsa -ggi 
 
This means that the problem is probably one of the following flags 
 
fbcon aalib nas ggi 
 
Those are the ones that differ from the USE flags that make it compile for the reporter 
of the problem.

I had the same problem. 
 
After adding "fbcon" to the USE-flags and reemerging libsdl, 
I could emerge succesfully the new "avifile". 

[Comment 3 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2003-02-16 04:04:58 UTC]

Very possible that SDL compiles without sound support if no sound USE flags
are given.  Try to add at least one of oss, alsa, arts or esd.  Ill say either
'oss' or 'alsa' should get it working.

avifile-0.7.32.20030219 has been added to portage.  This version has --enable-oss set by default.
