Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2019-03-03 14:50:14 UTC
USE=ncurses is supposed to enable CDK support, but it doesn't actually do anything.
configure fails to find cdk/cdk.h and automagically still disables the support, even though --with-cdk was passed. Our outdated cdk package installs /usr/include/cdk.h instead of /usr/include/cdk/cdk.h, thus the failure to find it.

Probably an easy fix, but given that no-one has actually missed this and reported a bug, it seems like no-one misses this and maybe we should just remove the pretend support instead of fixing it, and last-rite maintainer-needed dev-libs/cdk?
If we decide to fix it instead, then we should take resposibility of dev-libs/cdk and bump it (there's a release from Feb 2019).
It's about interactive configuration via ncurses-like CDK library via gphoto2 config or something, instead of command-line stuff. Then again, I'm not sure who actually even uses gphoto2 over some GUI program utilizing libgphoto2.

Personally I would kill cdk
