Bug 306225 – Amarok needs +gtk USE flag for libgpod while libgpod can be compiled without that flag if installed separately

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Piotrek Juzwiak 2010-02-21 18:22:04 UTC]

When installing amarok with ipod support it needs libgpod for this and says that it needs the +gtk flag BUT when installig libgpod it doesn't complain when installing without gtk flag

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Install amarok without gtk USE flag
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
I would expect amarok to not force the gtk use flag if libgpod can be installed without it just fine.

it should install fine without requiring the gtk flag

While libgpod can compile perfectly fine w/o USE=gtk, amarok *requires* media-libs/libgpod[gtk] as clearly stated in amarok ebuilds. If you dislike it, emerge amarok w/ USE="-ipod"

Well but the point is i want to use amarok with ipod support for my ipod of course and since libgpod doesn't need gtk then why amarok would need it ?

Because it needs libgpod features which are ONLY available when you have installed libgpod with USE=gtk. That's it. No bug here.
