Description Holger Benl 2004-02-06 13:01:20 UTC
I tried to compile kdemultimedia-3.2 and it failed with some
error messages that mentioned FLAC (haven't got the output
here anymore, sorry), so I updated flac (from 1.0.4 to 1.1),
tried to compile again and this time it worked.

Obviously kdemultimedia uses FLAC (for a kfile-plugin), but
that (optional?) dependency is neither mentioned in
"./configure --help" nor on the KDE website with the
dependencies of KDE 3.2.

Furthermore, it seems to need the 1.1 version of FLAC, but the
configure script only seems to check whether FLAC is installed
or not, but not whether it is recent enough.



Reproducible: Didn't try
Steps to Reproduce:
1.install FLAC 1.0.4
2.try to install kdemultimedia-3.2

Actual Results:  
Compilation aborted

Expected Results:  
either automatically upgrade flac to 1.1 (if flac is in $USE)
or turn off the FLAC-support in kdemultimedia

I've also filed this bug report at bugs.kde.org (since that's
really the source of the problem), but since the ebuild also
needs to record this dependency, I'm also filing it here.

I forgot to mention the number of the bug report at
bugs.kde.org: It's 74403.

It's been patched in kde's cvs, so I'm applying their patches to kdemultimedia.  Should be fixed now.  Thanks for the report.
