Bug 142713 – kdehiddenvisibility isn't used although useflag is set

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Florian Baur 2006-08-03 16:40:21 UTC]

Trying to emerge any kde-package with USE=kdehiddenvisibility fails with this error:

===
 * You asked to enable hidden visibility, but your kdelibs was
 * built without its support. Please rebuild kdelibs with the
 * kdehiddenvisibility useflag enabled.

!!! ERROR: kde-base/ksysguard-3.5.3-r1 failed.

!!! kdelibs without hidden visibility

USE=kdehiddenvisibility is set in make.conf and was used to build kdelibs (also confirmed by "equery u kdelibs"). The reason why the packages complain about kdelibs not being compiled with kdehiddenvisibility was explained by this message that was shown during kdelibs compilation:

===
Your GCC supports symbol visibility, but the patch for Qt supporting visibility
was not included. Therefore, GCC symbol visibility support remains disabled.

For better performance, consider including the Qt visibility supporting patch
located at:

http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=109386

and recompile all of Qt and KDE. Note, this is entirely optional and
everything will continue to work just fine without it.
===

I think this means that the kdehiddenvisibility useflag does nothing on an unpatched system and kdelibs (as well as every other package) will be compiled without hidden visibility which is why the packages complain about kdelibs missing it. So maybe this patch should go into the portage builds to enable that useflag.

Here's my emerge --info:
