Shouldn't the avidemux ebuild filter -fPIC? It seems avidemux will not build with -fPIC. I realize that -fPIC should not be used, except with libs and that the ebuilds should take care of this, but still you never know what people will try using. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1 2. 3.
We can't filter all and every problematic flag someone can choose. You should know what you do.
So, if someone finds a USE flag that out right causes said package to fail compiling, then it should not be reported? I wasn't asking, nor would I expect, the ebuild maintainer to verify all USE flags for an ebuild, but instead thought that since I ran into this problem and it seemed very clear that avidemux does not like -fPIC, that reporting the problem might be of value. [quote]You should know what you do.[/quote] Then why have the "filter" functionality in ebuilds period? The avidemux ebuild already has: filter-flags "-fno-default-inline -funroll-loops -funroll-all-loops \ -maltivec -mabi=altivec" Anyways, I am not looking to argue about this. I was only trying to help, not demand more from the maintainers/developers.
