As of version 0.89 xmame now has support for lirc. This is really handy for those who run keyboardless systems (ie mythtv). But the ebuilds of versions after version 0.89 do not have the required bits to provide this feature if the lirc use flag is given. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ACCEPT_KEYWORDS='~x86' USE='lirc' emerge xmame 2. ldd /usr/games/bin/xmame Actual Results: There is no lirc_client library linked in to xmame and so no action by xmame when a lirc command is sent. Expected Results: emerge should have added lirc_client into the libraries that xmame links against and should have enabled the LIRC variable in the makefile.unix
Created attachment 54994 [details, diff] adds lirc use to xmame ebuilds This patch will add lirc support to the xmame 0.94 and 0.95 ebuilds. This will make it possible to use lirc with xmame and make (mostly) keyboardless operation of xmame possible.
added lirc support to xmame and xmess. It would have been nice if I had been able to apply your patch directly. In the future, please limit your patch to the feature/bug fix in question and leave the formatting of the IUSE variable alone. Thanks. No rev bump since these things are such large compiles. For lirc support, resync and remerge. Thanks for the bug report.
Sorry about the reformatting. I erred on the side of 80 columns or less (I know better now). Thanks for the quick resolution!
