I notice mesa-7.7_rc2 ebuild missing /usr/lib/libGLU.la, but xorg-server[+sdl] need this la file. mesa-7.7_rc2.ebuild havn't those code: insinto /usr/$(get_libdir) # Should this use the -L/usr/lib instead of -L/usr/$(get_libdir)? # Please confirm and update this comment or the file. doins "${FILESDIR}"/lib/libGLU.la || die "doins libGLU.la failed" sed \ -e "s:\${libdir}:$(get_libdir):g" \ "${FILESDIR}"/lib/libGL.la \ > "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la # On *BSD libcs dlopen() and similar functions are present directly in # libc.so and does not require linking to libdl. portability eclass takes # care of finding the needed library (if needed) witht the dlopen_lib # function. sed -i \ -e 's:-ldl:'$(dlopen_lib)':g' \ "${D}"/usr/$(get_libdir)/{libGLU.la,opengl/xorg-x11/lib/libGL.la} \ || die "sed dlopen failed" in the end of src_install(). but mesa-7.5.2 has. why remove those code from mesa-7.7 ? Reproducible: Always
Cause recent eselect-opengl stopped using la files - it tells you so in the post-install message. So, INVALID.
If you are like me and only have eselect-1.2.3.ebuild, eselect-1.2.7.ebuild, and eselect-1.2.8.ebuild in your portage tree, and you memory is poor (like mine), you may be confused by the claim that "it tells you so in the post-install message" since those ebuilds don't contain the message anymore. Have a look in the--fortunately out-of-date in this case-- http://gentoo-portage.com , particularly http://gentoo-portage.com/AJAX/Ebuild/99102/View and you see this: # info about removal of .la file einfo elog "eselect-opengl since version 1.0.9 strips the libGL.la file." elog "This file was broken by design and thus removed." elog "For fixing all sort of configure issues please run:" elog " lafilefixer --justfixit" elog "or run revdep-rebuild if you update from any older release." elog "(lafilefixer package can be found as dev-util/lafilefixer For me running "lafilefixer --justfixit" did in fact just fix it.
Strange, I can still see it in eselect-opengl-1.1.1-r2.ebuild.
