Description Gabriel Rossetti 2008-01-21 17:09:27 UTC

gimp 2.4.2 won't compile because alsa-lib was compiled with the midi flag, but it wasn't, I have no midi flag for the currently installed alsa-lib package (alsa-lib-1.0.13) and I even tried to recompile it (same version), it still does the same thing. The reason I won' t upgrade alsa-lib is because the current version has problems with my sound card.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -v gimp
Actual Results:  
media-libs/alsa-lib-1.0.13 does not actually support the midi USE flag!

Expected Results:  
It should emerge it :-)

since alsa-lib-1.0.13 don't have a midi flag, is gimp-2.4.2 successfully emerged is you comment the midi flag check?

/usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.4.2.ebuild
(lines 59-62)

Upgrade alsa-*; nothing to fix here. Thanks.

Yes, if I comment them out it compiles fine and also works fine.

I don't understand what alsa has to do with the gimp I must say....

I'll use your workaround, even though I don't really like workarounds, but if I do update alsa-lib, then my mic doesn't work anymore and my sound crackles...
