Description N. Andrew Walsh 2007-07-28 05:00:08 UTC

FLAC >=1.1.3 changed its API, and current versions of ardour (such as 2.0.3) cannot compile against it. Emerge ardour always returns the following errors:

/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/../../../libsndfile.so: undefined reference to `FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_set_seek_callback'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/../../../libsndfile.so: undefined reference to `FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_process_interleaved'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/../../../libsndfile.so: undefined reference to `FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_get_resolved_state_string'
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.2.0/../../../libsndfile.so: undefined reference to `FLAC__seekable_stream_encoder_set_write_callback'
...etc.

adding a check to see if latest versions of FLAC are installed - and halting emerge - would help avoid the problem until the folks at ardour re-write the code.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. update FLAC to >=1.1.3
2. try to install/emerge/update ardour.
3. repeat

Actual Results:  
emerge ardour fails.

Expected Results:  
emerge ardour should not fail. instead, current versions of ardour ebuilds should stop the emerge if a recent version of FLAC is installed, with an instruction to mask the ebuild until a later version comes out.

Please run revdep-rebuild from gentoolkit, and re-emerge libsndfile.
