GNUstep-libs/mediakit depends on ffmpeg but cant find avcodec.h and avformat.h These are in "-I/usr/include/ffmepg" (as specified in "pkg-config libavcodec --cflags") but they are searched in "/usr/include/ffmepg/libavcodec/avcodec.h" and "/usr/include/ffmepg/libavcodec/avformat.h" I used symlinks for the two folders and got a successful compile: I used "ln -s . libavcodec" and "ln -s . libavformat" in "/usr/include/ffmpeg", creating symlink "/usr/include/ffmpeg/libavcodec -> /usr/include/ffmpeg" (and similar for libavformat) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge gnustep-libs/mediakit-0.4.0 Actual Results: compile failed. Expected Results: compile
As I don't see gnustep-libs/mediakit in the tree, I'm assuming you're trying again to mix stable and overlays and you're failing again. The recent versions of ffmpeg (not yet stable) don't put the headers in /usr/include/ffmpeg. Instead some go into /usr/include/libavcodec, some into /usr/include/libavformat other into other dirs. So, again, invalid.
Don't CC maintainers et cetera.
My mistake, I added a patch to support newer ffmpeg, but did not depend explicitly on it. Changed DEPEND to >=media-video/ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20080326 in the overlay, thanks! If you have a patch allowing support for both old and new ffmpeg, upstream too could be interested ;)
