Bug 372713 – media-libs/quvi-0.2.17 doesn't build with USE=examples (can't link against ../lib/libquvi.la)

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Stephan Friedrichs 2011-06-23 21:05:03 UTC]

media-libs/quvi-0.2.17 fails to compile whenever the 'examples' useflag is enabled. Otherwise it succeeds.

Buildlog follows.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. activate examples useflag for quvi

[Comment 2 Stephan Friedrichs 2011-06-23 21:07:18 UTC]

I should have mentioned that the build fails due to

libtool: link: cannot find the library `../lib/libquvi.la' or unhandled argument `../lib/libquvi.la'

ran into the same error, using the patch it installs.

I wonder, how?... Patch worked for me.

And my version sounds:

src_prepare() {
        sed -i 's:/lib\(/libquvi.la\):/src/libquvi\1:' examples/Makefile.am
}

I guys I've created an ebuild to solve this problem with the same patch but renamed in libquvi quvi-examples-libs.patch .
Follow the ebuild quvi-0.2.17-r1.ebuild

Updated ebuild to solve the this bugì

[Comment 9 Tim Harder 2011-07-08 06:16:20 UTC]

I don't know if I agree with using the examples flag to build the code anyway since nothing from it gets installed as far as I can tell.

I'd rather use the flag to install the example files and will change the ebuild to do so unless someone can come up with a convincing argument against it.

Or we could also drop the flag altogether since I doubt many people find much real usage from it currently.

[Comment 10 Tim Harder 2011-07-09 19:09:01 UTC]

The latest revision in CVS now installs the example code instead of compiling it.
