Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

The package seems to be building examples during "make all" phase even though they are not installed at all. For details see my blog: http://blog.flameeyes.eu/articles/2008/06/11/please-dont-build-your-examples-by-default .

It would be nice if the examples were not built by default and (maybe) only built with FEATURES=test (as a able-to-link test). You can find an example patch usually suitable for upstream on the blog above.

Thanks,
Diego
