After updating portage to the newest version (im running the development kernel by the way) and rsyncing did emerge fluxbox error is as follows >>> emerge (1 of 4) media-gfx/xv-3.10a-r5 to / >>>md5 src_uri ;-) xv-3.10a.tar.gz >>>unpacking source... >>>unpacking xv-3.10a.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/xu-3.10a-rf/work *Applying xv-3.10a-enehanced-Nu.patch... *Applying xv-3.10a-gentoo-Nu.patch >>>Source unpacked make *** No rule to make target '-ltiff' , needed by `all'.

Gentoo is an amazing distro thanks for all your hard work!
This is caused by the two patches explicitely setting: JPEGLIB = -ljpeg PNGLIB = -lpng ZLIBLIB = -lz TIFFLIB = -ltiff LIBS = -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11 $(JPEGLIB) $(TIFFLIB) $(PNGLIB) $(ZLIBLIB) -lm and so '-ljpeg', '-lpng', '-lz' and '-ltiff' all become targets for make; if the libraries are not installed then make rightly complains it can't find them. Changing the xv-3.10a-r5 ebuild to the following fixes this problem. [ -z `use jpeg` ] \ && sed -i -e "s:JPEGLIB = -ljpeg:JPEGLIB =:" Makefile \ || append-flags -DDOJPEG [ -z `use png` ] \ && sed -i -e "s:PNGLIB = -lpng:PNGLIB =:" Makefile \ && sed -i -e "s:ZLIBLIB = -lz:ZLIBLIB =:" Makefile \ || append-flags -DDOPNG [ -z `use tiff` ] \ && sed -i -e "s:TIFFLIB = -ltiff:TIFFLIB =:" Makefile \ || append-flags -DDOTIFF One other note. sys-libs/zlib isn't a fixed dependency of xv. Instead it could be included with media-libs/libpng: png? ( >=media-libs/libpng-1.2 >=sys-libs/zlib-1.1.4 )
closing with -r6
