Bug 169282 – sys-power/kpowersave-0.7.2 wants to use unsermake but it is not good to

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Hamlet 2007-03-04 13:38:44 UTC]

Trying to emerge sys-power/kpowersave-0.7.2, it fails with:

WARNING: use unsermake instead of make or use a wrapper script, e.g. makeobj!!!
unsermake all
ERROR:src/Makefile.am: unknown source extension .ui for kpowersave.la
[...]
ERROR:src/Makefile.am: unknown source extension .ui for kpowersave.la

(the ebuild wished me good luck with using unsermake, but it was not enough).
It seems that kpowersave configure uses unsermake only if it finds it, otherwise it falls back to the usual make. But the ebuild always requires unsermake as dependency, so the followed path is always emerge unsermake -> use unsermake -> error.
Some other packages (like libkdeedu) check UNSERMAKE variable and setting it to "no" it did compile (but not otherwise); kpowersave ebuild, instead, ignores that variable.
If I unmerge unsermake and emerge kpowersave with --nodep option, it works just fine.

I would suggest to either introduce a unsermake flag or get rid of unsermake dependency or, at least, modify the DEPEND variable of kpowersave ebuild to consider UNSERMAKE variable value when filling DEPEND variable.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -pv kpowersave
2. emerge kpowersave

Actual Results:  
# emerge -pv kpowersave
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Expected Results:

Please reconsider:

- I have no UNSERMAKE= line in my make.conf: 

# grep -R UNSERMAKE /etc 2> /dev/null || echo "None found."
None found.

- ebuild of kplayer (took as example in #169268) doesn't depend on unsermake

- kpowersave ebuild makes no difference in setting UNSERMAKE environment variable in any way

I think that while the cause is the same in both bugs, the solution of this one must be specific.

[Comment 4 Hamlet 2007-03-07 21:32:48 UTC]

I just confirm that now the new version of kpowersave-0.72 works as expected for me.
