Bug 48748 – libgnome-2.4.0.ebuild needs /usr/lib/libasound.la, but lacks a DEPEND for alsa-lib

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED INVALID

[Description gentoo 2004-04-22 18:11:49 UTC]

On my system without GNOME and without ALSA, I emerged planner-0.11 (formerly MrProject). The whole GNOME infrastructure was emerged implicitly, so far ok.

The build failed somewhere in the middle of the procedure at libgnome-2.4.0,
because that missed /usr/lib/libasound.la, which is part of alsa-lib.

I emerged alsa-lib manually (and got 1.0.3b-r2) and restarted emerge planner.
Everything was fine then.

I think a DEPEND to alsa-lib should be added to libgnome-2.4.0.ebuild.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start with a system without GNOME and without ALSA.
2. Exec "emerge planner" as root

Actual Results:  
3. When emerge built libgnome-2.4.0, it failed because it missed /usr/lib/libasound.la


Expected Results:  
Should have run through

You had alsa on your system and compiled libs against it, later on removed it. libgnome itself does not need alsa, you should recompile it & possibly other lowerlevel libs.

Foser's last comment explains this.
