Hi! I attached the patch xawtv-3.73.ebuild.diff. The patch enables lirc support in xawtv if you have put "lirc" in your USE variable (of course you have to have lirc installed). With lirc you can control xawtv with you favourite remote. You can find the lirc ebuild at the moment under: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3328 If you don't know lirc take a look at http://www.lirc.org, too. Georg Sauthoff
Created attachment 1309 [details, diff] Xawtv Lirc ebuild patch Perhaps works with other versions of Xawtv too.
Ok we can't just go around adding use variables as we please (as I was told about my proposed dxr3 use variable) if there are a lot of packages that will make use of this and such, please open a bug assigned to drobbins with a detailed proposal for the use variable otherwise, we'll need to find a different way to do the autodetection of lirc for this.
:) Hm, I don't know a lot packages which could use the USE variable. Only kdemultimedia (noatun), xawtv, mplayer and a xmms-plugin I think. But the lirc variable is not really important. Xawtv automatically detects with configure if lirc it there or not. "checking for lirc_init in -llirc_client... yes" (at my mashine). So then we only need to delete one line in the xawtv ebuild: "--disable-lirc " Is this fair? P.S.: I think kdemultimedia autodetects lirc too, beacause the lirc noatun plugin was automatically build.
Man we gotta get bugzilla to autowrap text, cuz when I post with lynx and when you post with konqueror these things are impossible... anywho... Yeah I think I'll go with just removing the --disable-lirc configure option from this build once I get the lirc one sorted out with you ;-)
Ok, I can't test this much, but can you test how well it works by just removing the "--disable-lirc" configure option and adding the dodoc? Thanks!
This two little changes work fine. configure self-detects correctly if lirc is installed or not.
