Comment 3 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2025-01-23 08:44:26 UTC
Error(s) that match a know pattern in addition to what has been reported in the summary:


Library execinfo found: NO
Library iconv found: NO
Run-time dependency bzip2 found: NO (tried pkgconfig and cmake)
src/protocol/test/meson.build:5:6: ERROR: Argument is of an unacceptable type 'bool'.
Comment 5 Felix Janda 2025-01-23 18:18:10 UTC
I believe this happens when we have USE="test -libcss".

It is caused by elinks-0.18.0 adding "libdomdeps" to src/protocol/test/meson.build. I don't know enough meson to know how to fix this, but will report a bug upstream.
