Bug 348034 – x11-libs/qt-assistant rebuilds libQtCore and libQtXml

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Davide Pesavento (RETIRED) 2010-12-07 13:43:15 UTC]

While emerging qt-assistant, the libQtCore and libQtXml libraries are rebuilt by the build system (but not installed), probably because they are considered a prerequisite of some Makefile targets needed to build something else.
This shouldn't happen because x11-libs/qt-core is a dependency of qt-assistant, thus both libraries are already installed and those ones should be used. This issue also needlessly increases the time required to emerge qt-assistant.

Created attachment 300035 [details, diff]
qt-assistant-4.7.4.ebuild.patch

It looks like, for whatever reason, that the docs target depends on the corelibs and xml target.

The attached patch simply removes this dependency, and seems to build fine locally with a reasonable reduction in compile time.

is this bug maybe related to bug #398885 ?

That's exactly what I thought too last night when I re-read the build log of bug #398885 :)

Applied, thanks Michael!
