Bug 95067 – guarddog depends on arts even when it shouldn't.

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Rusty Phillips 2005-06-04 14:23:12 UTC]

The configure phase of guarddog checks for mcopidl - a configuration program
that comes with arts, and crashes if it doesn't find it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Remove (or never install) arts from your system
2.  USE="-arts" emerge guarddog


Actual Results:  
Compile fails.

Expected Results:  
This check should never be performed if you're not using Arts.  Otherwise, arts
should be listed as a requirement for this (but it's a firewall program, so it
actually shouldn't).

Well, the configure script checks if it should search for mcopidl or not and
`USE="-arts" emerge guarddog` runs fine here.

Rusty, how exactly does it crash? Can you provide relevant output, and the 
config.log file from the workdir? 

[Comment 3 Rusty Phillips 2005-06-29 16:40:51 UTC]

Actually, it was failing during the check for mcopidl during the configure run.

After a massive number of system changes, however, I can no longer reproduce
this bug.

It configures fine now without arts, and I have no idea why.

Neither do we :-) Please reopen if it appears again.
