[ebuild N ] dev-libs/gobject-introspection-common-1.42.0 [ebuild N ] dev-libs/vala-common-0.26.2 [ebuild U ] gnome-base/librsvg-2.40.8 [2.40.6] USE="tools -introspection -vala" ABI_X86="(64) (-32) (-x32)" This is strange...
As far as i can see one of 3 went wrong: 1) the flags are not honored 2) the use-flags should have been removed 3) the use-flags have a different meaning
(In reply to Nico Baggus from comment #1) > As far as i can see one of 3 went wrong: > 1) the flags are not honored > 2) the use-flags should have been removed > 3) the use-flags have a different meaning 4) vala-common ≠ vala. And gobject-introspection-common ≠ gobject-introspection. The *-common packages are collections of m4 macros and template makefiles which are required at build time for any package where a) the package can use vala or gobject-introspection (optionally or not); and b) the package is based on the GNU autotools build infrastructure; and c) the ebuild applies patches to configure.ac or Makefile.am files. At least read the package descriptions (vala-common says "Build infrastructure for packages that use Vala") before reporting bugs ;)
