Description Thomas Weidner 2005-10-03 07:41:04 UTC

amule uses the "gtk" useflag to mark if the wxGTK GUI will be built. This gives
bad results, at least on my system. the "gtk" useflag is for gtk 1.x apps, and
therefore disabled here, i have only gtk2 set. So wxGTK is built with gtk2
support. the amule ebuild looks for the gtk useflag, which is unset and assumes
not to build the gui. Therefore the ebuild tries to do "need-wxwidgets base"
which fails here,because i have no "base" wxWidgets, but a gtk2 one. So the
ebuild does not even build here! 
Perhaps a solution would be to simply use the gtk2 flag instead of gtk, but this
could cause the same problems because wxGTK can also be built with gtk 1.x
support. so some more fine grained controll checking several (gtk2,wxgtk1 and
gtk?) use flags should be used instead.
Btw,why isn't the pkg_setup code in the amule ebuild not part of an eclass?
looks pretty general to me.

gtk use flag is *not* used for gtk-1* any more and you should enable it; gtk2
use flags is deprecated and is being removed from all ebuilds. See Bug 106560.
