vtk-6.1.0-r1.ebuild

NVIDIA tools are either available via the separate ebuild nvidia-settings, or via the use flag "tools" from the driver package. Users of the latter will see a conflict when installing VTK with "VIDEO_CARDS=nvidia".

The attached, updated ebuild refines the dependency handling.

Not a Java issue, removing us.

ebuild with correct || (... ...) in RDEPEND

vtk-6.1.0-r1.ebuild as attached earlier to this bug seems to use || (... ...) incorrectly in its RDEPEND variable. This ebuild fixes that issue.
It now correctly prefers x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools] over media-video/nvidia-settings but either of both satisfies its dependencies.

Note that =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-361.18-r2 does not install libXNVCtrl.a which seems to be the reason for vtk to fail during configuration.

=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-361.18-r2 does not install libXNVCtrl.a which seems to be the reason for vtk to fail during configuration.

This ebuild installs as well libXNVCtrl.a, just as =media-video/nvidia-settings-358.16.ebuild does.

Here, configuration of vtk does not fail anymore even if nvidia-drivers[tools] is used to satisfy the RDEPENDS in "424242: ebuild with correct || (... ...) in RDEPEND".

For me the two last ebuilds together fix this bug.

So right underneath the lines where the static library is conditionally installed, you want to again install it, but unconditionally.

>		insinto /usr/include/NVCtrl
>		doins "${S}"/nvidia-settings-${PV}/src/libXNVCtrl/*.h

In a newer ebuild, installing the header is also conditional on USE=static-libs.

Shouldn't it be depending on x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools,static-libs] ?

=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-361.18-r4 installs libXNVCtrl if and only if tools AND static-libs are set as use-flags.

Thus

video_cards_nvidia? ( || ( x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools,static-libs] media-video/nvidia-settings )  )

should be "the correct" dependency statement?

Emerging x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers[tools,static-libs] and adding a version of media-video/nvidia-settings to packages.provided I can confirm that I am able to emerge VTK without issue.

Also my reading over the ebuild also suggests that USE="tools static-libs" is require.
