I am not able to successfully emerge mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5 with USE="gif". The build fails with "ld: cannot find -lungif". AFAIK, with USE="gif", it should try to link against giflib, *not* libungif. Quick guess: in the ebuild RDEPEND, it is specified that mplayer depends on giflib if "+gif", and depends on libungif if "-gif". So the ebuild should not force config.mak's GIF_LIB = -lungif if "+gif" (ebuild's line #419). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge unmerge libungif 2. USE="gif" emerge --oneshot giflib #(i think libungif and giflib are sharing some files) 3. USE="gif" emerge =mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5 Actual Results: cc -I../libvo -I../../libvo -I/usr/X11R6/include -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_REENTRANT -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -Ilibmpdemux -Iloader -Ilibvo -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT -I/usr/X11R6/include -o mplayer mplayer.o mp_msg.o cpudetect.o codec-cfg.o spudec.o playtree.o playtreeparser.o asxparser.o vobsub.o subreader.o sub_cc.o find_sub.o m_config.o m_option.o parser-cfg.o m_struct.o unrarlib.o mixer.o parser-mpcmd.o libvo/libvo.a libao2/libao2.a libmenu/libmenu.a Gui/libgui.a libmpcodecs/libmpcodecs.a mp3lib/libMP3.a liba52/liba52.a libmpeg2/libmpeg2.a loader/libloader.a loader/dshow/libDS_Filter.a loader/dmo/libDMO_Filter.a libaf/libaf.a libmpdemux/libmpdemux.a input/libinput.a postproc/libswscale.a osdep/libosdep.a libavcodec/libavcodec.a -lmad -lvorbis -logg -ldv -lfaad -llzo -lmp3lame -lvorbis -logg -lxvidcore -lm -lpng -lz -lz -ljpeg -lasound -ldl -lpthread /usr/lib/libxmms.so.1 -export-dynamic -lfreetype -lz -lungif -lfontconfig -L/usr/lib -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lgtk -lgdk -rdynamic -lgmodule -lglib -ldl -lXi -lXext -lX11 -lm -L/usr/lib -lglib -lGL -lXxf86dga -lXv -lXxf86vm -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXext -lX11 -lnsl -lnsl -L/usr/lib -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lSDL -lpthread -lpthread -ldl -rdynamic -lm /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.5/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lungif collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [mplayer] Error 1 !!!

Created attachment 48667 [details, diff] patch to link against giflib Here is the modification to the ebuild that made mplayer build ok for me.
The same problem occurs with the mplayer_1.0-pre6 Version! If it's not possible to fix it, please at least include libungif in the dependency-list...
Fixed
<a href="http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16288#c6">16288#6</a> said that if gif is in USE then mplayer should link against libgif otherwise link against libungif, while the current behavior seems to use libungif if gif is specified, but not pull it in as a dependency I only bring it up because as I helped someone build mplayer, it diec on configure saying it couldn't find libungif, he had gif in his USE, but it wasn't pulled in as a dependency. Simply emerging media-libs/libungif fixed it, but the way I read the ebuild it should have happened automatically. He had the current ebuild mplayer-1.0_pre5-r5 (rev 1.14). Sorry for replying to a resolved bug, but maybe something is still wrong?
