Description Brant Gurganus 2005-12-19 18:23:35 UTC

with USE="doc", there is a circular dependency between nasm and ghostscript. nasm wans ps2pdf from ghostscript and ghostscript wants cups which wants gnutls which wants lzo which wants nasm

what do you expect us to do to solve this?
is this not more a nasm problem than a ghostscript one?

it is like with gcc-> gcc can use some libs, but they require gcc for being built.

How is the problem solved there?

nasm is a compiler and we cannot do anything against this

the solution is probably to merge nasm with USE=-doc the first time.
