Bug 291040 – gst-plugins-gconf compiles gst-plugins-good _again_ at compile time(!)

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) 2009-10-29 16:59:05 UTC]

This means gst-plugins-good is compiled _twice_ during installation of gst-plugins-gconf.

# override eclass
src_unpack() {
        unpack ${A}
}

Again, the split plugins are a bit of a lie.. the gconf plugin requires stuff that is outside its own directory.

Solution is to unspliut the plugins and use use-flags a-la ffmpeg/mplayer

I see no build.log or anything here. If the problem exist, please provide one.
As far as I can see, there is no bugs. gst-plugins-gconf only builds gconf plugin and not all of it.

The quoted src_unpack() doesn't make it build all of it. A non-complete src_compile() would, but the src_compile found in gst-plugins-gconf clearly only makes and installs gconf plugin.
For gst-plugins-good (or probably the latest soon before sending to stabilization) I'll remove the src_unpack/compile/install override completely as well, as the bug about default visualizer has been long fixed in common/m4/gst-default.m4 and we don't need to override anymore.

This package does not depend on anything outside its own directory and it does not compile gst-plugins-good again at compile time, so this bug is INVALID.
