aalib is listed as a normal dep it would be nice if it was under a use flag so it wouldnt have to be installed seems to compile and run fine without it
I believe we have an already existing USE flag for aalib too
Yes, it is set by default. You should try USE=-aalib...
i did thats why i filed this bug report ;) the ebuild lacks the aalib use flag in it
Created attachment 29309 [details] xine-ui-0.9.23.ebuild here is an updated ebuild with the added use flag needed to get rid of aalib in the dep list
0.9.23-r2 will have this optional, thanks for the hint. There was some ugly hack necessary to disable it if aalib is installed but you don't want to use it.
