Arfrever: Are we just missing a dep here?

[Comment 2 Mike Gilbert 2011-09-21 21:37:20 UTC]

Actually, it looks like a broken automagic dep.

sping: Do you have media-libs/portmidi installed from an overlay (like sunrise)?

Actually yes, =media-libs/portmidi-217 from sunrise.  Is there a connection?

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2011-09-21 22:04:25 UTC]

Yeah, this package's build system tries to auto-detect everything and does not allow one to selectively disable it.

media-libs/portmidi installs /usr/include/porttime.h. pygame sees this, and tries to link against /usr/lib/libporttime.so, which does not exist.

Should be fixed now.
