Description Yaroslav Isakov 2016-03-05 21:35:18 UTC

qjackctl right now is building with hard dependency on X11, for uniqueness checking. Because of this dep, it cannot be started natively on Wayland using "-platform wayland". This could be easily disabled by adding
$(use_enable X xunique)
into the ebuild.The re-emerging qjackctl with USE="-X" fixes segfault in qjackctl.

Also, it seems that it depends on X11:
AC_CHECK_LIB(m, main)
AC_CHECK_LIB(X11, main)
AC_CHECK_LIB(Xext, main)
....
# Some recent distros (eg. fedora, debian) require this.
ac_libs="$ac_libs -lX11"
This should be also optional, I think, or it should be reflected in the RDEPEND/DEPEND section, at least.
