If you have set -gtk and +gtk2 in your USE var, you can't emerge xchat >= 2 although it's a gtk2 app. One have to do : $USE="gtk" emerge xchat to have both gtk and text frontend, otherwise you only get the tex one. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.KEYWORD="~86" 2.USE="-gtk +gtk2" 3.emerge xchat Actual Results: only xchat text frontend compiled Expected Results: both should have been compiled
Created attachment 12261 [details, diff] A little try at a patch ;)
-gtk +gtk2 makes no sense, read the USE flags description in use.desc .
