Bug 102921 – media-sound/audacity ebuild complains about gtk2 despite +wxgtk1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Felix Wiemann 2005-08-17 16:53:55 UTC]

When emerging audacity-1.2.1, I get the following error message:

 * Audacity will not build if wxGTK was compiled
 * with unicode support.  If you are using a version of
 * wxGTK <= 2.4.2, you must set USE=-gtk2.  In newer versions,
 * you must set USE=-unicode.

However, it will also work if wxGTK has been compiled with the +wxgtk1 useflag,
even if the gtk2 and unicode useflags are set.

I, too, have run into this issue.  Regardless of what USE flags I set for wxGTK
(+/-unicode, +/-gtk2, +/-wxgtk1) or any combination thereof, audacity complains.
 I tried a timing hack - moving wx-config out of $PATH when the check is made,
then moving it back in - but audacity failed compilation later on.  I think it's
a bug with wxGTK compiling in unicode support whether we want it or not.

If you are trying to install wxGTK-2.6.1, it's better to do from CVS.
If you are talking about wxGTK-2.4.2, you could still try to build it from CVS

You probably only reemerged the wxGTK-2.6 tree. If you have a look at the ebuild
you see that audacity-1.2.1 depends on wxGTK-2.4*. Execute USE="-unicode" emerge
-av =wxGTK-2.4.2-r3 and things should go well. Also please use the search next
time. This bug is a duplicate of #101988. Unfortunately I have no rights to
change the status.
