Bug 248202 – x11-libs/agg pulls in sdl with negative use

• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stefan de Konink 2008-11-22 14:36:09 UTC]

What is the reason for agg to pull in sdl anyway even if the useflag is -sdl?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Because it appears twice in the dependencies of agg. One time in RDEPEND and the second time in DEPEND. The first is removed when setting USE=-sdl" while the second is not. So removing the second entry should work. One needs to figure out if sdl is a runtime or build time dependency though.


RDEPEND="sdl? ( >=media-libs/libsdl-1.2.0 )
	X? ( x11-libs/libX11 )
	truetype? ( >=media-libs/freetype-2 )"
	# sdl.m4 missing in the tarball
DEPEND="media-libs/libsdl
	dev-util/pkgconfig
	${RDEPEND}"

I'm installing a system now, will give a shot if it can compile without the DEPEND.

Thanks for reporting. Assigning to maintainer.

@Stefan, this looks like it should be reported upstream.

So the DEPEND is correct, isn't it? USE flags are for enabling or disabling features, not dependencies.

[Comment 6 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn 2010-07-27 06:20:40 UTC]

No bug here. Resolving as INVALID.

[Comment 7 Stefan de Konink 2010-07-27 09:44:13 UTC]

Why not just --disable-sdl and remove the runtime dependency?
