Since 2.49a, the blender ebuilds contain a small syntax error in src_compile which leads to inaccurate error reporting. It's only a cosmetic issue though. The old (good) syntax in =media-gfx/blender-2.48a-r3 was: escons || die \ "!!! Please add ${S}/scons.config when filing bugs reports to bugs.gentoo.org" The new, errorneous syntax since >=media-gfx/blender-2.49a is: escons || die \ '!!! Please add "${S}/scons.config" when filing bugs reports \ to bugs.gentoo.org' The error is obvious: The ${S} and the \ don't work inside the '', the string is printed literally. Reproducible: Always
Okay as of 2.63a-r1 the || die is gone, so, considering obsolete.
