I dont have a gentoo system available here at the moment if you could copy & paste the output here I will give it a look and try to fix it.
Just FYI: I just copied the current Skype ebuild (net-im/skype-2.0.0.68) to a local overlay and renamed it to skype-2.0.0.72, created a Manifest, and it builds and runs fine on x86. Apparently no need for an ebuild with differing deps, at least on my system.

I think this code must be changed: elif has_version '>=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4' && ! built_with_use ">=x11-libs/qt-gui" accessibility dbus ; then to sth like that: elif has_version '>=x11-libs/qt-4.4.0_alpha:4' && ! built_with_use ">=x11-libs/qt-gui-4" accessibility dbus ; then Then it works good with non-portage version of development >qt-4.4
Atleast this ebuild does not depend on qt-4.3* like the one in tree. I am in the process of installing skype without the qt-static use flag and would report back as soon as all the qt libraries and skype is done compiling as to whether it was successful or not.
Works perfectly. Hope this is added to portage soon.

It is if I try to emerge without qt-static flag.
Any updates to this?

I'm slowly working on adding oss version of skype to the ebuild. I'll complete it... someday... maybe. btw I use OSS and I need a special oss version of skype.
Latest ebuild working here on amd64 that is almost entirely a stable build (one package is unmasked). Here is contents of package.keywords: cat /etc/portage/package.keywords # Added for autounmask dev-perl/PortageXS ~amd64 # My own skype =net-im/skype-2.0.0.72 ~amd64 uname -a Linux profchaos 2.6.27-gentoo-r7 #1 SMP Fri Dec 26 12:15:10 MST 2008 x86_64 Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T5450 @ 1.66GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
I'd like to test the ebuild without qt-static on *amd64*. I tried to remove the IUSE variable but it still uses the static sources, any hint? Should I remove the whole arch separation? I think either it's important to get a stable 2.0.0.72 ebuild which will also fix the ugly font bug or we should spread a new funky open source video voip IM which will be used even by people who have never heard about gentoo ;-) sorry if to less entropy, I'm willing to test
(In reply to comment #21) > I'd like to test the ebuild without qt-static on *amd64*. I tried to remove the > IUSE variable but it still uses the static sources, any hint? Should I remove > the whole arch separation? I was able to install Skype 2.0.0.68 on amd64 without the qt-static flag and it works great. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't also work with 2.0.0.72. What I did is described in bug #200165, comment 3. You need to reemerge app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-qtlibs with the change given there (I used version 20080316), so that 32-bit Qt 4 gets installed. Then reemerge skype after removing the forced qt-static flag in /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/package.use.force. You might also want to see bug #181411, which requests 32-bit Qt 4 on amd64 and for reasons unknown to me has been closed.
(In reply to comment #22) > removing the forced qt-static flag in > /usr/portage/profiles/arch/amd64/package.use.force. This was the missing key. Since 5 years I did not know that a force / mask for USE flags exists! Thx. I'll report my experiences
(In reply to comment #23) > I'll report my experiences So far skype-2.0.0.72 USE=-qt-static is running on my amd64 system without any failures. Fonts are readable again and the rest is working as usual. One remark: to make the removal of the qt-static USE flag permanent/ emerge --sync resistant it's better to add /etc/portage/profile/package.use.force with content: net-im/skype -qt-static
please, is there nobody who can show mercy on updating skype in portage? net-im herd, i know you are few, but skype is one of the most popular desktop applications and this is the only version where video works. Its been out almost a year soon, but in gentoo its still not available :-( Is there anything we can do to make it happen?
Andreas, here's a Total Guess(tm): All the non-x86 problems in this bug are giving pause to the net-im devs, which leads them to work on more low-hanging fruit. I'm perplexed as to why devs wouldn't release a version leaving out the arches which present problems, and then work on the arch-specific problems later. However, again, if you are running x86, I can tell you that just a copy-and-versionbump into a local overlay works here. You don't mention which arch you run, though, so that may not work for you. However, I'd suggest that if you are on a non-x86 arch, you should try the last "successful" ebuild here in a local overlay and report here your experiences, with a build log if there's trouble. Cheers!
Even for other arches, skype works just by renaming the ebuild and putting it into an overlay. I've tested it in amd64 and it works well.
I can confirm the ebuild attached here works great (even the sound and video) on a stable amd64 system.
Its now in the tree, new ebuild uses use-deps instead of ugly hacks, yea!
