Bug 169219 – >=games-emulation/dosbox-0.65 should check for midi useflag on alsa-lib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2007-03-04 01:45:18 UTC]

As per summary.

The currently-masked alsa-lib version has a midi useflag that I introduced to reduce the size of the library itself. When this useflag is disabled (the default is enabled), the snd_seq_* functions won't be in the library. The snd_seq_* functions are needed by dosbox to be able to compile:

/var/tmp/portage/games-emulation/dosbox-0.70/work/dosbox-0.70/src/gui/midi_alsa.h:48: undefined reference to `snd_seq_event_output'

I'm attaching an ebuild patch for 0.70 that adds the (almost standard now) check for the midi useflag on alsa-lib.

Thanks,
Diego
