Currently, all ebuilds have DEPEND="sdl? ( media-libs/libsdl )". The effect of setting the sdl USE flag is passing an --enable-grub-emu-sdl option to the configure script. However, analysis of the configure.ac script reveals that this option is ignored if "emu" is not specified in a --with-platform option; all evaluations of variable enable_grub_emu_sdl happen inside "if test "$platform" = emu; then [...]; fi" blocks, and there is even a comment that reads: # Ignore --enable-emu-* if platform is not emu On the other hand, installing libSDL typically installs a lot of other packages as dependencies if a desktop profile is selected with default USE flag settings, including several X11 libraries, Mesa, LLVM and Clang, when it will actually only be needed if grub_platforms_emu is set (selecting --with-platform=emu), and that, in turn, will only happen by explicit user's request, since no profile sets that USE flag by default. So please, change the dependency on libSDL to: grub_platforms_emu? ( sdl? ( media-libs/libsdl ) ) Reproducible: Always Actual Results:
Why do you have the sdl USE flag enabled if you don't want to install SDL?
Oh, I see: targets/desktop/make.profile has USE="sdl".

(In reply to Mike Gilbert from comment #2) > Oh, I see: targets/desktop/make.profile has USE="sdl". Exactly. Thank you, Mike.
