Bug 3958 – xine-ui-0.9.10-r1 doesn't build

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Nils Ohlmeier 2002-06-20 20:00:36 UTC]

It seems that xine-ui is looking for the old alsa-lib version.
alsa-[lib|driver]-0.9.0_rc1 are installed.

The configure prints out this:
checking for AALIB version >= 1.2... no
*** The aalib-config|aainfo program installed by AALIB could not be found
*** If AALIB was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path, or use --with-aalib-prefix to set the prefix
*** where AALIB is installed.

And the compile fails with this:

Actually, aalib is ASCII Arts lib, not alsa lib.  I will look at the xine-ui's
new ebuild to see if this exists.

[Comment 2 Seemant Kulleen (RETIRED) 2002-06-21 09:10:33 UTC]

0.9.11 has this as an optional dependency (your USE should contain "aalib") and
will emerge the necessary package to satisfy it, should you choose it.

[Comment 3 Nils Ohlmeier 2002-06-22 11:31:00 UTC]

0.9.11 also fails to compile on my system (with the same error like 0.9.10).
I hvae tracked it down to the following reason: i have directfb in my use and
DirectFB installed. But i don't have aalib installed and not in my USE (and i
dont want it their). But xine-ui fails if it trys to compile directfb support
without installed aalib.
So IMHO the solution should be that if directfb is in USE the aalib have to be
in a hard depend. 
Still a problem case exists if DirectFB is installed and detected by the
configure (but not in USE) but the aalib isn't installed. Maybe the directfb
test in dconfigure can be disalbed it is not in USE.

I will also make an entry to the xine bug tracking, because i think the
configure should fail if it detects directfb but no aalib.

Gerk and I were fighting with this today, if directfb is in use then aalib is a 
dependency of xine, for SOME reason that I am in conversation with the xine 
developers about.  the xine-0.9.12-r1 ebuilds that I'm working on will ensure 
that they make aalib a dep if aalib || directfb are in USE

[Comment 5 Brandon Low (RETIRED) 2002-06-24 00:47:04 UTC]

until we figure out with the xine folk why this was happening, I am adding 
directfb? ( media-libs/aalib )
to the ebuild I'll keep an eye on them to fix this in the future though.
