Bug 166986 – media-video/ffmpeg - USE="theora" doesn't work (patch)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Guillaume Pujol 2007-02-15 09:37:18 UTC]

I noticed while compiling ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070129.ebuild that although USE="theora" being activated, ffmpeg ebuild doesn't enable theora support via --enable-libtheora passed to ./configure

# USE=theora emerge -atv ffmpeg

[ebuild   R   ] media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20070129  USE="aac dts encode ieee1394 imlib mmx ogg theora threads truetype v4l vorbis x264 xvid zlib -a52 (-altivec) -amr -debug -doc -network -oss -sdl -test" 0 kB

libvorbis enabled         yes

Actually, ffmpeg ebuild has IUSE="theora", but setting USE=theora does NOTHING to ffmpeg, not even pull in a dependency to media-libs/libtheora.

I checked the latest stable version off ffmpeg (0.4.9-20061016), and the situation is the same.

I'm not sure if it is a mistake or a feature. I'll attach a simple patch to activate theora support properly.
