Created attachment 51053 [details] New libusb ebuild
Created attachment 51054 [details, diff] Patch for amd64-fPIC
from the libusb website: The current stable version of libusb is 0.1.10a. This release fixes a variety of bugs, some of which are important. It is highly reccomended to use this version.
eradicator, are you planning to take over maintaining this? i was about to bump this after i did some testing. but if you want to take over maintaining this, then please let me know.
It's late here, so please excuse my taking this bug BEFORE sending you email... I was just about to send you one, honest ;). It looks like kdebase doesn't like 0.1.8 of libusb (atleast not here on amd64), so it needs some bumping. I was going to take care of this since I'm testing it right now, but if you're on it already, then by all means by my guest... it is your package after all... =) Also, I think the -fPIC stuff should get the boot as libtool should be smart enough to handle it correctly on amd64, and globally adding it to CFLAGS as is done here results in PIC code ending up in a static lib. I realize this was done to "fix" libgphoto, but this hack is unacceptable and libgphoto is the culprit that needs to be fixed to work properly with libusb.
in portage and fpic patch removed. i'll prob have to go get an account on the amd64 dev boxes to keep up with all these problems ;) thanks!
