Bug 98863 – Problematic typo in epic4 ebuild

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Erik McNellis 2005-07-13 03:03:24 UTC]

The epic4-2.2 ebuild with perl enabled requires perl without ithreads support.
The (lower) error message in the ebuild states the opposite, however:

<snip>
pkg_setup() {
        if use perl && built_with_use dev-lang/perl ithreads
        then
                error "You need perl compiled with USE=\"-ithreads\" to be able
to compile epic4."
                die "perl with USE=\"ithreads\" needed"
        fi
}
<snip>

Perl with USE="ithreads" is precisely the problem, and will cause unnecessary
comfusion.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. # emerge epic4




Expected Results:  
Given the correct error message.
