Created attachment 584274 [details] compressed build log Need to rebuild pulseaudio as ffmpeg is failing configure (requires pulse), however pulseaudio mysteriously fails configure. Also this comes out... * ERROR: media-video/ffmpeg-4.1.3::gentoo failed (configure phase): * (no error message) when there is an error message...

(In reply to Daiajo Tibdixious from comment #2) > Created attachment 584278 [details] > configure log ... configure:24755: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors " x11-xcb xcb >= 1.6 ice sm xtst " Package xtst was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xtst.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable No package 'xtst' found ... so try to rebuild x11-libs/libXtst.
Before rebuilding xtst... # ls /usr/*/pkgconfig/xtst.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xtst.pc After # ls /usr/*/pkgconfig/xtst.pc /usr/lib64/pkgconfig/xtst.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/xtst.pc I didn't realise it had to be in both places. After fixing a few others, pulseaudio built okay.
