Description Tom Lloyd 2006-04-29 06:38:42 UTC

I tried to emerge app-tv/xawtv earlier, but the build kept failing with this message:

mkfontdir
xset fp- "/root:unscaled"
/bin/sh: xset: command not found
make: [all] Error 127 (ignored)
xset fp+ "/root:unscaled"
/bin/sh: xset: command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127

!!! ERROR: media-tv/xawtv-3.94-r1 failed.
Call stack:
  ebuild.sh, line 1525:   Called dyn_compile
  ebuild.sh, line 928:   Called src_compile
  xawtv-3.94-r1.ebuild, line 65:   Called die

!!! tvfonts failed
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.


However, the problem was resolved as soon as I emerged x11-apps/xset.
Looks like the xawtv ebuild needs to be updated to check for modular X, and if it finds it, add xset as a dependancy.  I was going to modify the ebuild myself, but I can't make head nor tail of how to do that.

With any luck I've filed this bug properly - it's the first time I've done one like this :)

reopening because modular X is now stable on x86 and xawtv-3.95-r1 still in ~x86.

Please don't reopen random bugs.
I'll open a stabilisation request for the new xawtv version.
