• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

Hello,

I can't compile gltron 0.70. This is the output of emerge:

g++ -o gltron  gltron.o src/game/libgame.a src/input/libinput.a src/audio/libaudio.a src/video/libvideo.a src/configuration/libconfiguration.a src/base/libbase.a src/filesystem/libfilesystem.a nebu/input/libinput.a nebu/audio/libaudio.a nebu/video/libvideo.a nebu/scripting/libscripting.a nebu/filesystem/libfilesystem.a nebu/base/libbase.a lua/src/liblua.a lua/src/lib/liblualib.a -lSDL_sound -lmikmod -lsmpeg -lvorbisfile -lvorbis -logg -lsmpeg -lpng -lz -lGL  -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread

This is how I emerged gltron (or at least tried to):

anna games-action # emerge gltron -pv
 
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

[ebuild  N    ] media-libs/libmikmod-3.1.10-r1  +oss -esd +alsa

[ebuild  N    ] games-action/gltron-0.70
 
anna games-action #



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
gltron doesn't compile

Expected Results:

what does `emerge libsdl -pv` show ?

[Comment 2 Sebastian 2004-01-11 02:48:20 UTC]

Whoops, this happens when you compile libsdl with the 'nojoystick' USE flag. So it was kinda like my own fault. But maybe you devs would make a reference in the ebuld about compiling libsdl wihtout nojoystick for this game?

Thanks

Sebastian

SpanKY you own me ;)

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-01-11 02:53:49 UTC]

there already is a reference ;)
root@vapier 0 root # grep nojoystick /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc 
media-libs/libsdl:nojoystick - Allow users to disable joystick support completely (at their own risk)

and in the ebuild:
# if you disable audio/video/joystick and something breaks, you pick up the pieces
