WE need this the sci-chemistry/qtiplot version bump. It is an optional DEP but we like to provide support of it. From a quick look at the package it seems to be a quite simple one.
This is what the README.txt says: This module can not function if built as a DLL, it must be statically linked with the plugin. Hence, DLL building is not supported, and the -library option to configure will be ignored. It seems like an ebuild for this might not be very useful, unless I'm missing something.
it only builds .so here.
Justin, I've tried to build, but all I saw, was .so objects for examples. So I guess this bug is invalid. Please, reopen if I'm wrong here. As for qtiplot, to build plugin it requires qtbrowserplugin sources in 3rdparty/QtSolutions/qtbrowserplugin/. But unfortunately this does not builds here with: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -c -m64 -pipe -O2 -pipe -march=native -mtune=native -ggdb -D_REENTRANT -Wall -W -fPIC -DQT_PLUGIN -DTRANSLATIONS_PATH=\"/usr/share/qtiplot/translations\" -DMANUAL_PATH=\"/usr/share/doc/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2/html\" -DSCRIPTING_MUPARSER -DXLS_IMPORT -DODS_IMPORT -DBROWSER_PLUGIN -DQT_NO_DEBUG -DQT_PLUGIN -DQT_SVG_LIB -DQT_QT3SUPPORT_LIB -DQT3_SUPPORT -DQT_XML_LIB -DQT_OPENGL_LIB -DQT_GUI_LIB -DQT_NETWORK_LIB -DQT_CORE_LIB -DQT_SHARED -I/usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/linux-g++-64 -I. -I/usr/include/qt4/QtCore -I/usr/include/qt4/QtNetwork -I/usr/include/qt4/QtGui -I/usr/include/qt4/QtOpenGL -I/usr/include/qt4/QtXml -I/usr/include/qt4/Qt3Support -I/usr/include/qt4/QtSvg -I/usr/include/qt4 -I/usr/include/qt4/QtAssistantClient -I/usr/include/qt4/QtAssistant -I../3rdparty/qwtplot3d/include -I../3rdparty/zlib -I../3rdparty/qwt/src -I/usr/include/boost-1_35/boost -I/usr/include/liborigin2 -Iicons -Isrc/analysis -Isrc/analysis/dialogs -Isrc/core -Isrc/lib/include -Isrc/lib/3rdparty/qtcolorpicker/src -Isrc/plot2D -Isrc/plot2D/dialogs -Isrc/plot3D -Isrc/matrix -Isrc/origin -Isrc/table -Isrc/scripting -I/usr/include/quazip -I/vt/portage/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2/work/qtiplot-0.9.7.11/3rdparty/QtSolutions/qtbrowserplugin/src -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/vt/portage/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2/work/qtiplot-0.9.7.11/tmp/qtiplot -o ../tmp/qtiplot/Convolution.o src/analysis/Convolution.cpp In file included from src/core/ApplicationWindow.h:54, from src/analysis/Filter.h:34, from src/analysis/Convolution.h:32, from src/analysis/Convolution.cpp:29: /vt/portage/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2/work/qtiplot-0.9.7.11/3rdparty/QtSolutions/qtbrowserplugin/src/qtbrowserplugin.h: In member function ‘QStringList QtNPClass<T>::mimeTypes() const’: /vt/portage/tmp/portage/sci-visualization/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2/work/qtiplot-0.9.7.11/3rdparty/QtSolutions/qtbrowserplugin/src/qtbrowserplugin.h:130: error: invalid use of incomplete type ‘struct QMetaClassInfo’ /usr/include/qt4/QtCore/qobjectdefs.h:234: error: forward declaration of ‘struct QMetaClassInfo’ make: *** [../tmp/qtiplot/Convolution.o] Error 1 If interested the only changes required in ebuild are: --- /home/pva/overlays/gentoo-x86/sci-visualization/qtiplot/qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2.ebuild 2010-01-11 22:13:52.000000000 +0300 +++ qtiplot-0.9.7.11-r2.ebuild 2010-01-11 22:36:36.000000000 +0300 @@ -7,12 +7,13 @@ DESCRIPTION="Qt based clone of the Origin plotting package" HOMEPAGE="http://soft.proindependent.com/qtiplot.html" -SRC_URI="mirror://berlios/${PN}/${P}.tar.bz2" +SRC_URI="mirror://berlios/${PN}/${P}.tar.bz2 + plugin?

You will be right. I saw the weird sources too. lets wait if either the qtiplot or the browserplugin upstream changes something.
