Bug 184927 – net-p2p/gift-* needs DEPEND on net-p2p/gift, not just RDEPEND

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Darian Rackham 2007-07-11 07:13:22 UTC]

Building net-p2p/gift with USE flags can fail if libgift is not already available.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
With no previous installation of net-p2p/gift,

 USE="openft gnutella fasttrack ares" emerge net-p2p/gift

Actual Results:  
emerge tries to build the plugins before gift itself.  Each plugin build
fails in configure when it can't find libgift.

 Relevant error from configure:

  Checking for libgift >= 0.11.8 libgift < 0.12.0... Package libgift was
  not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the
  directory containing `libgift.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable

Expected Results:  
Since gift PDEPENDs on the plugins, and each of the plugins RDEPENDs on gift, emerge should build gift before the plugins.

Well, no. RDEPEND is for runtime dependencies, not for compile-time ones.

pena gift-ares # USE="openft gnutella fasttrack ares" emerge -pv gift

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!

emerge does build gift here before the plugins but I will add the DEPEND as it should have it there.
