Bug 385449 – media-tv/xbmc-9999: add projectm use flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description BT 2011-10-03 05:44:57 UTC]

Please add a 'projectm' use flag to control the building of the bundled projectm visualization.

I've tested this locally and it builds fine both when disabled and enabled. There is a quirk when disabled, that results in the projectm visualization being marked as enabled in add-ons. The add-on is non-functional in this state and doesn't seem to cause any issues. I have filed a bug upstream regarding this issue.

Upstream has confirmed that this is intended behavior. The same also applies to the recently added 'rsxs' use flag and the request for a 'goom' use flag in bug #385447.

Sorry for commenting on a closed bug, but I noticed that you added a libprojectm dep. Does xbmc use an external dep for this? As far as I can tell, it only uses the bundled projectm.

yes, it would seem xbmc uses a local projectm because they patch the API slightly to control the base x/y coordinates
