checking faad.h usability... no checking faad.h presence... no checking for faad.h... no configure: error: Cannot find development headers for libfaad... !!! ERROR: media-video/vlc-0.8.1 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 449, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. A quick check of the ebuild shows a (new) faad flag, but NO faad (actually faad2) in the dependencies (like 0.8.0 had for the aac flag). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: Compile crashed and burned. Expected Results: Should have compiled successfully. I think this just needs something like faad? ( >=media-libs/faad2-2.0_rc3 ) in the DEPEND section of the ebuild to fix. I will leave this as "normal" (critical, but easy to fix :) ).
thanks, ebuild updated and commited.
