Bug 614150 – Build dev-libs/wlc with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Upstream for dev-libs/sway

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Markus Walter 2017-03-28 14:11:18 UTC]

As discussed in the linked issue, otherwise drop-down menus vanish after first use. The simple addition of "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Upstream" to the wlc ebuild solved this for me.

Note that this is only a workaround and no real solution exists, so it may be a good idea to do this conditional on a use-flag and let sway depend on the use-flag.

This build type only seems to influence compiler/linker flags, so enabling it would be in violation of QA, it seems to me.

See https://github.com/Cloudef/wlc/blob/master/CMakeLists.txt#L80

This seems to be correct and I'm also totally confused how this solved my problem. Nevertheless it actually solved a rather big usability problem, so I would urge you to apply this fix until a proper solution is found. (No issue if not on my side, thanks to local overlays. ;)

Try setting the flags with /etc/portage/package.env
