During the configuration phase of the libreoffice ebuild I got the following warning: >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/app-office/libreoffice-3.3.0/work/libreoffice-build-3.3.0.4 ... configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-tag, --with-system-cairo, --enable-pam, --with-java Does this mean that we can take out the "java" and "pam" USE flags? The ebuild keeps on going without problems after this. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libreoffice 2. pay attention to the warnings on screen
These are the warnings I found in the build.log file: configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-tag, --with-system-cairo, --enable-pam, --with-java configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-fontooo, --disable-qadevooo, --with-system-rhino, --with-rhino-jar, --enable-presenter-screen, --without-writer2latex, --with-distro, --with-arch, --with-srcdir, --without-binsuffix, --with-installed-ooo-dirname, --with-tag, --with-drink, --without-git, --with-split, --enable-strip, --disable-access, --disable-post-install-scripts, --enable-extensions
Like I said in multiple bugs before ;-) This is caused by the way the libreoffice (or ooo-build /openoffice before) build system works. Basically it's two build systems wrapped around each other which pass those statements along... So nothing to be worried about. Keeping it open just to remind myself to double check if there aren't any really deprecated flags hidden somewhere in there ;-)
I've now double checked and there were indeed some unnecessary checks, for instance remove the pam stuff. Those remaining warnings are side-effects of the way LO is built, the corresponding config-flags are actually all necessary. So: Closing.
