ranlib: /home/tmp/portage/portage/fltk-1.1.4_rc1/image//usr/lib/fltk-1.1/*.a: No
such file or directory

Portage then goes on and installs fltk but alsamixer cannot find fltk when
emergeing.
/etc/env.d/99fltk1.1 points to /usr/lib/fltk1.1 but there is no such file.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge -v fltk
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
see above

Edit the ebuild to and disable xft.

[Comment 2 Sebastian B. Otaegui 2003-07-30 10:49:45 UTC]

Patch your fltk-1.1.4_rc1.ebuild this way

The above is just a workaround.

[Comment 4 Aaron Peterson 2003-08-06 08:07:36 UTC]

after looking at the ebuild... and seeing comments about xft needing xfree reemerged to get fltk to work...

This looks like the joy of not being able to detect what other things are built with... and specifying that things need to be built with something that was built with something else...  not just that everything is on the system or not...


We need a way to track what is built with what, and dependancies...

or just emerge world -e on every update....

[Comment 5 Jared H. Hudson (RETIRED) 2003-08-10 08:39:40 UTC]

Reassigning to liquidx since he's the one who added XFT support

[Comment 6 Nick Hadaway 2003-08-14 13:18:29 UTC]

fltk-1.1.4_rc2 has been added to portage which should work properly with xft2

[Comment 7 Nick Hadaway 2003-08-15 18:06:57 UTC]

marking fixed as I have a couple of success reports.
