Created attachment 62590 [details] /var/tmp/portage/gkrellm-giFT-0.2.3/work/gkrellm-giFT-0.2.3/config.log
could you please paste output of following command: grep Version /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgift.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gkrellm.pc
Output as requested: grep Version /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgift.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gkrellm.pc /usr/lib/pkgconfig/libgift.pc:Version: 0.11.8 grep: /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gkrellm.pc: No such file or directory Which seems to say something. I did a fresh emerge of gkrellm (again) just to see if that fixed anything. Still the same result.
i can't reproduce that:| can you also attach full merge log from gkrellm? (e.g. `emerge -1 gkrellm >/tmp/gkrellm 2>&1` )
Created attachment 63277 [details] gkrellm log as requested.
Trying to think of as much relevant information as possible: On this machine gkrellm is built without X (daemon runs here, gkrellm built with X displays on another machine with -s switch). [ASIDE: Documentation at http://code-monkey.de/projects/gkrellm-gift.html is ambiguous as to whether it will only work if installed on the display machine (gkrellm built with X) with gkrellm-gift pointed at the gift server. If this is the issue then there at least needs to be some warning message in the ebuild or something.] gkrellm-giFT also doesn't build on the display machine (~amd64 keyworded) (gkrellm with X) but it's a different error which at least gets past the configure stage (error is: file-type not allowed in /usr/lib etc. and so a different bug for another day).
Created attachment 63313 [details] new ebuild ok. seems like ebuild was b0rked. i've changed it a bit. could you try to install gkrellm from this one and let me know if that fixed the problem?
That new ebuild for gkrellm is an improvement. It doesn't fail with an inability to find pkg-config for gkrellm anymore. gkrellm-giFT still fails with a pkg-config error, but this time it's because it can't find a pkg-config entry for gtk rather than gkrellm - which is fair enough, because that's not installed: checking for gkrellm >= 2.1.23 libgift >= 0.11.3 libgift < 0.12.0... Package gtk+-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path. Perhaps you should add the directory containing `gtk+-2.0.pc' to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable Package 'gtk+-2.0', required by 'GKrellM', not found configure: error: Library requirements (gkrellm >= 2.1.23 libgift >= 0.11.3 libgift < 0.12.0) not met; consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard prefix so pkg-config can find them. I note that gkrellm-giFT's ebuild doesn't have gtk or X as a dependency. Perhaps it's assuming gkrellm is built with the X use flag set - in which case can it check for that? I can now do the workarounds I need so I'm happy. But I think the gkrellm-giFT dependencies should be tidied up. Thanks.
Created attachment 63929 [details] fixed ebuild for gkrellm-giFT sorry - i was away few days. gkrellm-giFT should have gtk2 in dependencies, so it'll have also virtual/x11 as it's hard dependency for gtk. additionally it won't compile with gkrellm compiled with -X, becouse gkrellm2/gkrellm.h isn't installed in such situation and i don't think it should be (what do you think about that mholzer?). i'm attaching new ebuild for gkrellm-giFT with fixed dependencies
Sending back to herd listed in metadata.xml; if you no longer want this, change it to maintainer-needed - it's been sitting here for one year.
Apparently zero interest in fixing this, sending to treecleaners.
