Description José Manuel Ferrer Ortiz 2008-06-22 14:19:09 UTC

wxGTK-2.8.7.1-r1 and wxGTK-2.8.7.1-r2 ebuilds always build wxGTK library including unicode support (and not the ansi version), without even taking a look at the unicode USE flag.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
USE=-unicode emerge wxGTK
Actual Results:  
Unicode version of wxGTK built, ansi version not built

Expected Results:  
Ansi version of wxGTK built, unicode version not built

Unicode is now fortunately mandatory.

"The biggest change in our wxGTK-2.8 is we are no longer supporting the ansi profile; that is, we are unicode-only. The upcoming wxWidgets 3.0 will do away with the ansi/unicode split and simply use UTF-8 for everything. If your package supports building against the unicode libraries (most should), we encourage you to at least provide that option with a unicode USE flag or at most make it the default. ;)"
