when emerging libungif-4.1.0.1b with the 'maketest' FEATURE enabled, the emerge will fail if the xv package is not installed. libungif uses xv to produce images which open in a series of windows. without the xv package the result is this: make check-TESTS make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/libungif-4.1.0.1b/work/libungif-4.1.0b1' The Porsche. xv - <./pic/porsche.gif The Porsche composited with a generated background ./test-unx: line 30: xv: command not found GIF-LIB error: Write failed (disk full?).

ERROR: media-libs/libungif-4.1.0.1b failed. disabling maketest or emerging the xv package before libungif results in a successful install. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libungif-4.1.0.1b with makecheck in FEATURES and without xv installed 2. emerge fails 3. emerge xv then emerge libungif Actual Results: Failed install. Expected Results: Install successfully. if possible, adding the xv dependancy if maketest is enabled to the ebuild could solve the problem - but i leave that to someone who knows what they're doing. ;)
usasa, your the last to bump this one.. assigning to you
Hi, thanks for the bug report. I disabled make check if xv is not installed. We cannot modify DEPEND list inside ebuilds unless we use USE flags (FEATURES is not handled like USE flags). I added ewarns to install xv if you wants to run maketest for this package. Hope this will help.
