at the moment, links will be compiled with --enable-graphics only if USE="png". If --enable-graphics is not supplied, fb WILL NOT WORK. Moreover, --enable-graphis should be enabled for 'X' or 'fbcon'. Note: if X or fbcon usegflag are enabled, links will be built in graphic mode. libpng is required to compile links in graphic mode not required in textmode),so let's add libpng for X? and fbcon? X? ( virtual/x11 >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1 ) fbcon? ( >=media-libs/libpng-1.2.1 )" - Fixed DEPEND and src_compile(). - Some cosmetic changes. TODO: RDEPEND should be defined. I'll look into this later. I really think that ebuilds should be tested and tested and tested BEFORE putting them in portage. Users (like the one who reported this problem), don't really like b0rked ebuilds. We love Gentoo.
