The pidgin 2.6.3 ebuild requires gtk/gstreamer. Not ideal for those of us who only want finch. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge pidgin 2. 3. Actual Results: pidgin pulls in gtk libraries as dependencies Expected Results: pidgin only installs finch, which only needs ncursus
[ebuild N ] net-im/pidgin-2.6.3 USE="ncurses nls perl -bonjour -dbus -debug -doc -eds -gadu -gnutls -groupwise -gstreamer -gtk -idn -meanwhile -networkmanager -prediction -qq -sasl -silc -spell -tcl -tk -zephyr" 8,881 kB Should work without X/gtk/gstreamer.
Doesn't work for me... This is on a headless, X-less machine, and I only want finch. emerge: there are no ebuilds built with USE flags to satisfy ">=x11-libs/cairo-1.6[X]". !!! One of the following packages is required to complete your request: - x11-libs/cairo-1.8.8 (Change USE: +X) (dependency required by "x11-libs/gtk+-2.16.6" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "gnome-base/gconf-2.26.2-r1" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "media-plugins/gst-plugins-gconf-0.10.16" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "net-im/pidgin-2.6.3" [ebuild]) (dependency required by "world" [argument]) [ Found these USE variables for net-im/pidgin-2.5.8 ] U I - - +gstreamer : <unknown> - - +gtk : <unknown> - - bonjour : Enable bonjour support - - dbus : Enable dbus support for anything that needs it (gpsd, gnomemeeting, etc) - - debug : Enable extra debug codepaths, like asserts and extra output. If you want to get meaningful backtraces see http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/qa/backtraces.xml - - doc : Adds extra documentation (API, Javadoc, etc) - - eds : Enables support for Evolution-Data-Server (EDS) + + gadu : Enable Gadu Gadu protocol support. - - gnutls : Adds support for net-libs/gnutls (TLS 1.0 and SSL 3.0 support) - - groupwise : Enable Novell Groupwise protocol support. - - meanwhile : Enable meanwhile support for Sametime protocol. + + ncurses : Adds ncurses support (console display library) - - networkmanager : Enable net-misc/networkmanager support + + nls : Adds Native Language Support (using gettext - GNU locale utilities) + + perl : Adds support/bindings for the Perl language - - prediction : Enable Contact Availability Prediction plugin. + + qq : Enable QQ protocol support. - - sasl : Adds support for the Simple Authentication and Security Layer - - silc : Enable SILC protocol support - - spell : Adds dictionary support + + tcl : Adds support the Tcl language - - tk : Adds support for Tk GUI toolkit - - zephyr : Enable Zephyr protocol support
I got it to work finally, manually set -gstreamer in make.conf. IMO, when -X is specified, the other flags should be disabled. Please consider changing the ebuild.
