I just had to download the realplayer rpm, and I found out that there is also the source code to the realplayer.
Look at this https://player.helixcommunity.org/2005/downloads/


Reproducible: Always

Has already been removed from the tree...

Feel free to reopen with a working ebuild, meanwhile we have much more important things to do than messing with this horrible homebrew build system.

No problem; it's just not worth the hassle plus it's never ever compiled on amd64 (which is probably the main reason why people would want this).
