The latest ebuild for udpcast has lost the --fec option for udp-receiver. A simple compile from source still works. The ebuild version: wizard /dev/shm/udpcast-20211207 # udp-sender --fec udp-sender: unrecognized option '--fec' udp-sender [--file file] [--full-duplex] [--pipe pipe] [--portbase portbase] [--blocksize size] [--interface net-interface] [--mcast-data-address data-mcast-address] [--mcast-rdv-address mcast-rdv-address] [--max-bitrate bitrate] [--pointopoint|--nopointopoint] [--async] [--log file] [--no-progress] [--min-slice-size min] [--max-slice-size max] [--slice-size] [--ttl time-to-live] [--fec <stripes>x<redundancy>/<stripesize>] [--print-seed] [--rexmit-hello-interval interval] [--autostart autostart] [--broadcast] [--min-receivers receivers] [--min-wait sec] [--max-wait sec] [--start-timeout n] [--retries-until-drop n] [--nokbd] [--bw-period n] [--streaming] [--rehello-offset offs] [--rate-governor module:parameters] [--autorate][--license] The source version: wizard /dev/shm/udpcast-20211207 # ./udp-sender --fec ./udp-sender: option '--fec' requires an argument ./udp-sender [--file file] [--full-duplex] [--pipe pipe] [--portbase portbase] [--blocksize size] [--interface net-interface] [--mcast-data-address data-mcast-address] [--mcast-rdv-address mcast-rdv-address] [--max-bitrate bitrate] [--pointopoint|--nopointopoint] [--async] [--log file] [--no-progress] [--min-slice-size min] [--max-slice-size max] [--slice-size] [--ttl time-to-live] [--fec <stripes>x<redundancy>/<stripesize>] [--print-seed] [--rexmit-hello-interval interval] [--autostart autostart] [--broadcast] [--min-receivers receivers] [--min-wait sec] [--max-wait sec] [--start-timeout n] [--retries-until-drop n] [--nokbd] [--bw-period n] [--streaming] [--rehello-offset offs] [--rate-governor module:parameters] [--autorate][--license] This is caused by a missing CFLAGS entry in the Makefile, namely -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC. The ebuild version: CFLAGS = -O2 -pipe -Wall CPPFLAGS = -I. -I. -DUSE_ASSEMBLER The source version: CFLAGS = -O3 -Wall -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC -DUSE_SYSLOG -DUSE_ASSEMBLER -Wall CPPFLAGS = -I. -I. Adding -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC to CFLAGS in /etc/portage/make.conf fixes the problem. More digging reveals that the patch for the previous ebuild was correctly adding this entry whereas the new patch does not. The maintainer simply needs to add the functionality of udpcast-20200328-gentoo.patch back in for the new version. Should be an trivial fix.
The old patch was just touching -DUSE_ASSEMBLER -O6. It didn't add -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC as it was already there, going off `git diff 72eaf7b386b238b203b1add1d4ef4b2e8df83e7c~1..72eaf7b386b238b203b1add1d4ef4b2e8df83e7c`. Anyway, let's add append-cppflags -DBB_FEATURE_UDPCAST_FEC in the ebuild then.

Yay, it works again now! Thank you!
