Configuring gnustep-gui with --disable-ungif and without --enable-libgif still expects to link with a gif library. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge gnustep-gui-0.12.0 on a system without media-libs/giflib OR 1. Remove media-libs/giflib or do an emerge --depclean 2. Emerge gnustep-gui-0.12.0 Actual Results: Compilation fails Expected Results: Gnustep-gui should compile and install Partial output from emerge: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -rdynamic -Wl,-rpath=/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -shared-libgcc -fexceptions -fgnu-runtime -o obj/set_show_service \ ./obj/set_show_service.o \ -Wl,-rpath=/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -L/usr/lib64 -L../Source/./obj -L../Model/./obj -L/var/tmp/portage/gnustep-base/gnustep-gui-0.12.0/temp/GNUstep/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/Local/Library/Libraries -L/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries -lgnustep-gui -lgnustep-base -lpthread -lobjc -lm /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: libgif.so.4, needed by /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link) /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifGetExtensionNext' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifGetRecordType' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifGetImageDesc' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `EGifCloseFile' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `EGifPutImageDesc' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifGetLine' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `QuantizeBuffer' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifCloseFile' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `EGifPutLine' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `EGifOpen' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifGetExtension' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `EGifPutScreenDesc' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `MakeMapObject' /usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so: undefined reference to `DGifOpen' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [obj/set_show_service] Error 1 make[1]: *** [set_show_service.all.tool.variables] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gnustep-base/gnustep-gui-0.12.0/work/gnustep-gui-0.12.0/Tools' make: *** [internal-all] Error 2 * * ERROR: gnustep-base/gnustep-gui-0.12.0 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 1654: Called dyn_compile * ebuild.sh, line 990: Called qa_call 'src_compile' * ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile * gnustep-gui-0.12.0.ebuild, line 43: Called egnustep_make * gnustep-base.eclass, line 134: Called die Note gif USE flag is disabled: emerge -pv gnustep-gui These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Sounds a lot like bug #190744 ... The tools Makefile in here tries to use the system lignustep-gui (which is still linked to gif), instead of the newly compiled one Changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH should work again, but I wonder how many other packages may have this kind of problems!
The -L search path has the system installed lib dir before the one in the build environment. Therefore -lgnustep-gui finds the installed one, and not the one just built. The fix might be to change the makefile to append LDFLAGS from the environment instead of prepending it (or appending new stuff). Not sure if in reality it is so easy as well.
This order (installed before just compiled) is caused by gnustep-make itself, not the Makefile... And this is not an easy thing to fix (other packages may break if this order changes). So this will probably end up in a fix like in gnustep-base
Finally fixed with the latest gnustep-base eclass committed in portage CVS (-L... paths order is correct now)
