Bug 60066 – DirectFB was unemerged, then trying to re-emerge, it fails to configure correctly and looks for a file it's supposed to provide

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Joseph Turley 2004-08-11 09:47:07 UTC]

I uninstalled DirectFB not aware that some programs I use need it.  I then tried to re-emerge it, and noticed that it's not correctly configuring (not adding support for mmx,sse even though the use flags are active) and it's looking for a file that it's supposed to provide, doesn't find it, and fails.  With this not working, I'm not able to test several apps that depend on the libdirectfb.la file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  emerge DirectFB


Actual Results:  
The biggest problem is this.  It's trying to find a file that it is supposed to
provide.  The attached file is the output
grep: /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la: No such file or directory
/bin/sed: can't read /usr/lib/libdirectfb.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/usr/lib/libdirectfb.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[4]: *** [libdirectfb_sdlinput.la] Error 1


As an example, all these options are no, even though the use flags are active.
Misc options:
  MMX support           no
  SSE support           no
  Debug mode            no
  Trace support         no
  Multi App support     no


Expected Results:  
The software should have compiled and installed DirectFB with support for MMX,
SSE, etc and installed correctly.

Output when I try to emerge DirectFB

[Comment 2 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-11 23:29:24 UTC]

Does

grep -r /var/tmp --include="*.la" /usr/lib

turn up anything?

[Comment 3 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2004-08-12 00:10:00 UTC]

DirectFB-0.9.20-r1.ebuild should take care of the mmx/sse issue.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2004-08-12 10:38:00 UTC]

i dont know if theres really much we can do about this ...

DirectFB has optional libsdl support and libsdl has optional DirectFB support :)

i'm guessing what happened here is you built DirectFB, then built libsdl with DirectFB
support, then removed DirectFB ... when you then tried to emerge DirectFB again,
it failed because it uses libsdl but libsdl needs DirectFB which no longer exists ...

to fix up your system, rebuild libsdl and then emerge DirectFB and things should
work again ...

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2004-08-14 23:58:04 UTC]

get back to us please

[Comment 6 Joseph Turley 2004-08-16 07:56:28 UTC]

My apologies.  I was on vacation for the last 4 days.  I have installed the r1 version and it did correctly detect mmx and sse as well as all the other options.  It is a combination if it not detecting those correctly, as well as what Spanky said about programs being compiled with directfb support and then me uninstalling directfb.  It's all straightened out now.  Thank you for the work.

We close bugs on this end.

Thanks for confirming that it's fixed.
