Bug 28711 – dependancy on libsdl use flag

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotr Piasny 2003-09-14 09:59:01 UTC]

affect this ebuilds:
games-action/d2x
games-action/gltron
games-action/maelstrom
games-action/orbital-eunuchs-sniper
games-strategy/uqm
games-rpg/freedroid
games-rpg/freedroidrpg

when libsdl is merged with '-joystick' USE flag this games fails to build,
because of lack of joystick related function in SDL

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.USE="-joystick" emerge libsdl
2.emerge d2x (or any from above list)


Actual Results:  
bail out during compilation, libsdl doesn't have joystick related functions

[Comment 1 Piotr Piasny 2003-09-14 10:00:16 UTC]

Resolution:
1. USE="joystick" emerge libsdl
2. emerge <any_from_abode_list>

although we could patch around the fact that users may or may not want joystick support, i'm all for forcing joystick support in libsdl

[Comment 5 Piotr Piasny 2003-09-14 12:49:05 UTC]

i think that forcing joystick in libsdl is good idea, because libsdl compiles wihout problems even when you don't have joystick support compiled into kernel.

alright we'll just leave it enabled all the time now ... i doubt it's that big of an overhead addition ...

update to 1.2.6-r1 and all your troubles should go away !
