Bug 260086 – games-sports/vdrift-20070323 build fails because of openal-config

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Renan Rangel 2009-02-24 00:37:34 UTC]

When I try to compile games-sports/vdrift-20070323, the output includes "/bin/sh: openal-config: command not found", followed by many errors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge media-libs/openal
2. emerge games-sports/vdrift

Actual Results:  
# emerge vdrift

I don't know if this is should be fixed in vdrift or openal ebuild. The versions 1.5.304 and 1.6.372 don't come with the "openal-config" script, but 0.0.8-r2 does.

Even then, if I emerge media-libs/openal-0.0.8-r2 and then games-sports/vdrift-20070323, it builds successfully, but won't run:

$ vdrift 
vdrift: error while loading shared libraries: libopenal.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Making a symlink from /usr/lib/libopenal.so.0.0.0 to /usr/lib/libopenal.so.1 solves the problem, but it's a dirt hack.

Use vdrift-20080805.ebuild.  Reopen if it fails there.
