tntnet offers different configure switches: --with-ssl=gnutls|openssl|no : build with SSL support (default is gnutls) --with-demos=yes|no : build demos (default: same as with-sdk) Please USE them! Reproducible: Always
I now added use-flags ssl/gnutls and demo use-flag: USE="ssl -gnutls" uses openssl USE="ssl gnutls" uses gnutls USE="-ssl" disables ssl
Thanks, works great. But maybe you should rethink the "demo" use-flag. AFAIK it's not common used but there's already an "examples" use-flag which could be used.
demos/examples are NOT installed ONLY built! I've spoken with the upstream, he'll probably make it like this: --with-demos=install|yes|no "yes" would cause them to only be built, while the thing we're interested in, "install" would actually install them. in my experience, the docs aren't installed either please reopen this bug
reopening on request from Auke Booij.
Getting further on this issue: What do you think we should do now? Installing the sources of the examples to /usr/share/doc/tntnet-VERSION/examples/ or additionally install the compiled examples?
installing all those files will create a lot of mess. i'm proposing that there should not be any use flag of this kind at all until the upstream has solved this. maybe a message about this when installing tntnet would fit here: "sup gentoo dude, diz ebuild is cool, but ah - you can't install docs and demos automatically, so i was just lazy and disabled them completely. you can still install them manually by downloading the source from tntnet.org lol"
Finally installing the examples with tntnet-1.6.1. So this is FIXED :)
