Bug 56414 – gimp ebuild problem with tiff

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Geordon Marchak 2004-07-07 23:09:12 UTC]

Gimp doesn't build with tiff libraries unless the following econf line is removed:
    use_with tiff libtiff

I suspect it's because there is no libtiff ebuild package available, so it
will always fail.   All the tiff libs are in "tiff" except for geolibs, which are separate.   I think the tiff package should be renamed libtiff for consistency, but that's just an opinion.

Reopen with output from emerge --info and the version of the gimp ebuild you
were trying to use.  Thanks.

Version of gimp:  GIMP version 1.2.5
 - but all ebuilds have the same issue.

You don't have tiff in your USE flags.  Why would it compile in tiff support
if you didn't ask for it?

If you use -v on emerge you will see the USE flags and their states.

Reopen if you still have a problem after adding tiff to your USE flags.

Sorry, my bad.   Works fine with the USE set to include tiff.  Maybe the default config should include tiff, but that's not really a bug.
