Description Anthony Ryan 2016-01-14 22:09:34 UTC

The tests are currently failing with USE="gd" as it tries to test gd functionality. It looks like we're using "make" to selectively compile the pieces that don't use gd, rather than a configure flag. But the configure file doesn't seem to support any of that.

At the moment this could be worked around by setting a REQUIRED_USE to force gd be enabled for tests, but the correct approach may be to send a patch upstream to allow disabling of this functionality at configure time.

Reproducible: Always

Comment 1 Anthony Ryan 2016-01-14 22:19:24 UTC

It looks like this has already been resolved in the upstream. The next release will have proper support for disabling this at configure.

1.16 will support --disable-image-output and will allow us to clean up the ebuild and resolve the issue.
