Bug 81919 – arts required by creox but not listed as dependency

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zach Nation 2005-02-13 14:50:37 UTC]

creox cannot be emerged without aRts but it is not automatically selected by emerge. This is the error:

checking for mcopidl... not found
configure: error: The important program mcopidl was not found!
Please check whether you installed aRts correctly.


!!! ERROR: media-sound/creox-0.2.2_rc2 failed.
!!! Function kde_src_compile, Line 141, Exitcode 1
!!! died running ./configure, kde_src_compile:configure
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove arts if it is present (?)
2. emerge creox
Actual Results:  
creox would not emerge. it complained about a missing mcopidl from arts.

Expected Results:  
it should have automatically installed arts as a dependency.

This project seems inactive, just as the other ones having this problem
(there are quite a few in bugzilla).

Should it be patched to work without arts or just removed from portage?

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-03-10 08:21:31 UTC]

If it works with arts I don't think it should be removed. If it strictly require arts (as I suppose, being a media-sound program) it should simply strictly depend on it.
Anyway with KDE4 arts will be no more so this is going to disappear in a couple of years I think :)

[Comment 3 Zach Nation 2005-03-10 15:38:01 UTC]

It does strictly depend on aRts. You can't compile it without aRts. aRts should definitely be a strict dependency.

Like you said, the problem will solve itself, but not very soon.

[Comment 4 Simone Gotti (RETIRED) 2005-03-11 00:09:50 UTC]

Probably It cannot only strictly depend on arts but it also needs kdelibs compiled with arts support.

[Comment 5 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2005-08-13 05:56:48 UTC]

Added strict dependency and kdelibs +arts check. 
 

[Comment 6 Rene Treffer 2006-01-08 11:59:15 UTC]

hmmm, creox DOES compiles after
USE="-arts" emerge kdelibs
why? creox may require arts, but not kdelibs with arts! if you 'emerge arts' you can compile creox! Try it!

just tried jack (qjackctl) and xmms+xmms-jack -> creox -> alsa/pcm and it worked perfectly, "-arts" useflag for the whole system.

The current check is insane, simply add arts to the dependencies.

Good luck!

[Comment 7 Zach Nation 2006-01-13 13:20:48 UTC]

arts needs to be available as a package, the arts use flag check is useless and missleading... creox works great with jack (arts installed but not running/not used)
