Wesnoth has a dedicated and a server useflag. Both can be used together to let it run as a server on headless machines. Headless machines do not have X installed in most cases, so there is no need for libsdl being build with X useflag. The ebuild for Wesnoth has a check which always fails on these headless machines if they have libsdl built without X. The check is wrong! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="-X dedicated server" emerge libsdl wesnoth Actual Results: "Please emerge media-libs/libsdl with USE=X" Expected Results: A fine and complete build This is the wrong check: if ! built_with_use media-libs/libsdl X ; then die "Please emerge media-libs/libsdl with USE=X" fi This would be a correct check: if ! use dedicated && ! built_with_use media-libs/libsdl X ; then die "Please emerge media-libs/libsdl with USE=X" fi
used to be broken for that case. Nice they've fixed it since then. Thanks for the bug report.
Sorry, but the bug is not fixed, someone forgot the exclamation mark in front of the "use dedicated". And it was only used on the latest stable version, 1.2.6, not on the versions before. The correct check is: if ! use dedicated && ! built_with_use media-libs/libsdl X ; then die "Please emerge media-libs/libsdl with USE=X" fi Tried it here, works perfect. (The game server itself does work, too. I don't know if they ever had problems upstream, works here since one year or even longer.)
whoops, yes, I forgot the bang. fixed now.
the bug is back again in version 1.4.2
no, see bug #222033
Ok, dunno why the other bug happens, i use "dedicated lite server" as useflags for wesnoth and it still builds with my libsdl without X support! So it might not be an upstream bug, but rather some mix of use flags which do not work. eix wesnoth -I [I] games-strategy/wesnoth Available versions: 1.2.8 ~1.4.1 1.4.2 {dedicated editor gnome kde lite nls server static tools} Installed versions: 1.4.2(17:38:44 28.05.2008)(dedicated lite nls server -editor -static -tools) emerge --info: Portage 2.1.4.4 (hardened/x86/2.6, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.6.1-r0, 2.6.23-hardened-r4 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.23-hardened-r4 i686 VIA Samuel 2 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 30 May 2008 03:46:01 +0000 ccache version 2.4 [enabled] app-shells/bash: 3.2_p33 dev-java/java-config: 1.3.7, 2.1.6 dev-lang/python: 2.4.4-r9 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r6 dev-util/ccache: 2.4-r7 sys-apps/baselayout: 1.12.11.1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.18.1-r2 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.61-r1 sys-devel/automake: 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2, 1.10.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.18-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.0-r4 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.26 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.23-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" CBUILD="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-Os -march=c3 -mtune=i686 -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe" CHOST="i586-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gcon f /etc/php/apache2-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cgi-php5/ext-active/ /etc/php/cli-p hp5/ext-active/ /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/udev/rul es.d" CXXFLAGS="-Os -march=c3 -mtune=i686 -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="bash-completion ccache collision-protect cvs distlocks metadata-transf er parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict unmerge-orphans userfetch" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.rz.tu-bs.de/pub/mirror/ftp.gentoo.org/gentoo-distfiles /" LANG="de_DE.UTF-8" LC_ALL="de_DE.UTF-8" LINGUAS="de en" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclu de=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.de.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow acpi apache2 bash-completion berkdb bzip2 chroot cracklib crypt cups gif hardened ipv6 jpeg logrotate midi mmx mysql ncurses nls nptl nptlonly offens ive oss pcre perl pic png python readline samba sasl ssl tcpd tiff unicode urand om vhosts x86 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="via82xx" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lflo at linear meter mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODU LES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn_dbd authn_dbm authn_d efault authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache dav dav_fs dav_lock dbd deflate dir disk_cache env e xpires ext_filter file_cache filter headers ident imagemap include info log_conf ig logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation proxy proxy_ajp proxy_balancer pr oxy_connect proxy_http rewrite setenvif so speling status unique_id userdir user track vhost_alias" APACHE2_MPMS="prefork" ELIBC="glibc" INPUT_DEVICES="mouse key board" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcd m001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="de en" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="s3" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LDFLAGS, MAKEOPTS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
This " ! dedicated && " part could be used only for 1.4.2 version in 1.4.4 it allways need X use for libsdl... i would sugges closing this as upstream and fixing 1.4.2 ebuild.
We'll just use 1.4.4 and ditch 1.4.2 completely.
