emerge aborts because configure fails at the libsidutils test: configure:9149: /bin/sh ./libtool g++ -o conftest -g -O2 -DHAVE_UNIX /usr/lib/libsidutils.la conftest.cc >&5 libtool: link: cannot find the library `/usr/lib/libsidutils.la' libsidutils was provided by "media-sound/libsidutils" once. That ebuild is gone (removed?). sidplay has only: DEPEND="virtual/glibc >=media-libs/sidplay-libs-2.1.0" sidplay-libs-2.1.0 does not provide libsidutils. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge sidplay 2. 3. Actual Results: configure fails Expected Results: Should pull libsidutils and emerge itself fine after that.
~ $ qpkg -l sidplay-libs-2.1.0 | grep libsidutils /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libsidutils.pc (only that is inside sidplay .. not the real lib)
This is really strange, because sidplay-libs should contain libsidplay and everything else needed by sidplay. the libsidplay,libsidutils etc. ebuilds were only pre-release cvs-versions and had a lot of problems. Can you please try to recompile sidplay-libs and send me the whole compile-output? After that, please retry to compile sidplay.
You're right. I checked the source of sidplay-libs and found libsidutils in there. I reemrged it now and it built the libsidutils correctly. I'm puzzled what caused the problem though. I mean what can someone do wrong with a plain "emerge sidplay". Well problem seems "solved" now because i cannot reproduce the problem.
well, cannot reproduce the error, but as you were the only person with this problem, I think we can close this bug.
