Description Jake Hamby 2004-01-02 14:31:46 UTC
I've seen this happen with several ebuilds and it is usually pretty easy to patch.  There is a common pattern in ALSA code to check for the newer 0.9.x API with:
 #if (SND_LIB_MAJOR == 0) && (SND_LIB_MINOR == 9)
instead of:
 #if ((SND_LIB_MAJOR == 0) && (SND_LIB_MINOR == 9)) || (SND_LIB_MAJOR >= 1)

In the case of kdelibs, the test is in configure.in.  Here's a patch.
