./configure --help lists it as optional, but even though i always had glib-1.2 installed it has not been build against it. please use flag it or drop the dependency. also other dependencies are not treated correctly as it seems.
Forget the other deps, had a look at the wrong ebuild. Just glib stands.
Bumping the bug. This package is the only one that stands between me and a glib-1*-free system.
I'm bumbing this as well... I'm now 100% glib-1*-free, but I had to edit the ebuild in /usr/portage/media-libs/libmovtar to remove the unecessary dependecy: DEPEND="=dev-libs/glib-1.2* >=media-libs/jpeg-6b >=media-libs/libsdl-1.2.2 x86? ( mmx? ( media-libs/jpeg-mmx ) )" became DEPEND=">=media-libs/jpeg-6b >=media-libs/libsdl-1.2.2 x86? ( mmx? ( media-libs/jpeg-mmx ) )" Then everything worked perfectly! I guess I will have to do this everytime I sync until the dependency is officially removed.
Fixed in CVS, thanks.
