Description Nicholas Fish 2015-07-12 11:49:49 UTC

At present, with the official ebuild, PhantomJS requires GStreamer to build. However, GStreamer is not required to build PhantomJS:

https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/issues/10948

I was able to successfully emerge PhantomJS 2.0.0 on my gstreamer-less system by trimming the media-libs/gstreamer and media-libs/gst-plugins-base dependencies. Resultant ebuild can be found in my overlay:

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/user/ennui.git/tree/www-client/phantomjs/phantomjs-2.0.0-r99.ebuild

Presumably, this ebuild will not work for everyone. Perhaps the gstreamer dependency should be marked conditional on the presence of the 'gstreamer' USE flag?
