Bug 215665 – media-libs/wxsvg-1.0 version bump request

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Daniel Black (RETIRED) 2008-04-01 05:55:49 UTC]

a newer version of wxsvg is out. It has some ffmpeg stuff needed for dvdstyler.

freetype patch is now included in upstream however some autoconf stuffing around may be needed.

build complains that "libtoolize --copy --force" is needed.

i haven't tested this against non-dvdstyler ebuilds.

patch for ebuild beta10

Same comment as on the dvdstyler bug. We should move this to wxGTK-2.8.

wxsvg-1.0_beta10.ebuild.diff

Here's a diff of the ebuild that kinda works for me. Mostly cleanups and bump of the wxGTK dependency to 2.8.

Daniel, 'AT_M4DIR="${S}" eautoreconf' in there is what solves your configuration issues. Also I seem to remember you shouldn't quote ${A}.

Now the bad news. It seems to build cleanly but svgui and calculette segfault (svgview works though). Who's good at gdb ?

Denis.

The problem is very simple. svgui and calculette are compiled with static and relative references to the .svg and .xml files they need. 
 
These files are not copied into /usr/bin, so this programs can't start from this folder. 
 
A explicit error message would be kind to explain this problem to users. 
 
If you want to test svgui and calculette, starts these programs from the svgui folder in your wxsvg source directory. In any other folder, it will crash.

I'm not sure what to make of that.  does dvdstyler work with this version?  if so I'll bump it since dvdstyler is the only package in the tree using wxsvg.

dvdstyler 1.6.2 is supposed to work with this version of wxsvg, however, in no way have I been able to make it work. In fact, I can't get wxsvg to compile from source on any OS other than Debian.

wxsvg-1.0_beta10.ebuild

this is the ebuild i have in my overlay.  it builds fine but exibits the segfault issues mentioned above.

not sure why upstream thinks it's fine to segfault if it's not run from the source dir, which seems quite shortsighted to me.

[Comment 8 Ryan Hill (RETIRED) 2008-06-23 03:50:01 UTC]

and now the new ffmpeg breaks this.  i'll fix it in a bit.

here's an ebuild for 1.0.  can you test if it works with dvdstyler?  it looks like some headers were removed between beta10 and 1.0.
