Description Thomas Jost 2007-04-11 02:37:18 UTC
libk8055 is a small library which allows access to Velleman's K8055 card, a nice USB interface board. The library is made from scratch and provides the same functions as the official Vellemans DLL for Windows.

Here is an ebuild for this library. It allows to optionnaly install the Python bindings to this library with the "python" use-flag. Only tested on ~amd64, but I guess it works on ~x86 (and probably other platforms) too.

Reproducible: Always

ebuild for the version 0.2
Comment 2 Oskar Ellström 2008-04-11 08:07:11 UTC
Can confirm that the library works/compiles under ~amd64.
Found with some help from a veteran at the forums that the header file k8055 is missing an include guard that makes it possible for it to be linked with code written with C++.

Mailed a suggestion how to fix it to the upstream author, Sven Lindberg.

Updated ebuild due to a patch

I've updated the ebuild to make it process a patch.
The reason is my previous post. Will also of course submit the patch.

I have tested the ebuild on my ~amd64 system. A program of mine using the library seems to work as I want it to.

(this is an automated message based on filtering criteria that matched this bug)
'EBUILD' is in the KEYWORDS which should mean that there is a ebuild attached 
to this bug.
This bug is assigned to maintainer-wanted which means that it is not in the 
main tree.
Heuristics show that no Gentoo developer has commented on your ebuild.

Hello, The Gentoo Team would like to firstly thank you for your ebuild 
submission. We also apologize for not being able to accommodate you in a timely
manner. There are simply too many new packages.

Allow me to use this opportunity to introduce you to Gentoo Sunrise. The 
sunrise overlay[1] is a overlay for Gentoo which we allow trusted users to 
commit to and all users can have ebuilds reviewed by Gentoo devs for entry 
into the overlay. So, the sunrise team is suggesting that you look into this 
and submit your ebuild to the overlay where even *you* can commit to. =)

Because this is a mass message, we are also asking you to be patient with us. 
We anticipate a large number of requests in a short time. 

Thanks,
On behalf of the Gentoo Sunrise Team,
Jeremy.

Ebuild no longer works...

dev-libs # ebuild libk8055.ebuild digest
Appending /usr/local to PORTDIR_OVERLAY...
!!! portage/libk8055 does not follow correct package syntax.

Updated ebuild for version 0.4.1

Made this quick and dirty ebuild for version 0.4.1 of libk8055.  Haven't actually tested it more than emerging it successfully.  Python support needs to be fixed in the ebuild, haven't investigated the procedure enough to make it work.
