emerge --pretend kde => ...(a bunch of stuff)...kdeaddons...(more stuff)... emerge --pretend kdeaddons => svgalib svgalib wont compile on ppc. the compiler output error messages mention something about ASM, so i'm assuming it has to do with native x86 assembly language. emerge search svgalib => svgalib (not masked, which i guess it should be) i should also note that emerge --nodeps kdeaddons *does* work with no problems, so its not too bad . . .
Dan: Is the svgalib dep stricly needed (what requires it)? I can compile it with svgalib removed from the buildfile on my ppc and x86 with no problems anywhere I have seen.
you can temporarily do this on ppc: emerge -i media-libs/svgalib-1.4.3-r1 that will trick portage into thinking its really there and not fail your deps
I set the svgalib to only be a dep with USE="svga" (which would be defined as a USE if needed on appropriate systems)... svga? ( media-libs/svgalib ) Initial bug was #3161 that required this dep to be added (user had built kdelibs with svgalib installed and didn't rebuild kdelibs after uninstalling, causing a failed dep)
I'm back (again, and I hope for the last time). You say there's an unregistered kdelibs dep on svgalib? Where? I checked all my kde .so's and only the two from kdeaddons link against libsvga. Or - how does libsvga being installed or not afects the later compilation of kdeaddons?
