Bug 261474 – media-libs/devil-1.7.7: don't check for nvidia-texture-tools in configure

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Frank Richter 2009-03-06 17:40:00 UTC]

Gentoo doesn't currently ship an nvidia-texture-tools. DevIL, however, checks for it. Right now building DevIL breaks when a manually installed nvidia-texture-tools is present (bug 260743). To avoid having an "automagic" dependency on nvidia-texture-tools, disable the check for it for now.

Hmmmm, technically, this bug is invalid since we don't really support out-of-tree mods to the system but it's fine to remove support for nvtt until or if it's ever in the portage treee.

in portage.
