Description cyberbat 2013-10-30 14:09:05 UTC

When installing 
dev-java/icedtea-6.1.12.6 USE="jbootstrap pax_kernel"

I got
configure:12643: checking for XT
configure:12650: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "xt"
Package xt was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xt.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xt' found
configure:12653: $? = 1
configure:12667: $PKG_CONFIG --exists --print-errors "xt"
Package xt was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xt.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xt' found
configure:12670: $? = 1
configure:12684: result: no
No package 'xt' found
configure:12714: error: Could not find Xt -   Try installing libXt-devel.

Same for dev-java/icedtea-6.1.13.1

But it compiles after emerging x11-libs/libXt

Same for dev-java/icedtea-7.2.4.5.

Comment 7 Guido Winkelmann 2014-08-11 20:08:59 UTC

I have a similar problem with dev-java/icedtea-7.2.4.7

The build stops with error message

checking for XT... no
configure: error: Could not find Xt -   Try installing libXt-devel.

Comment 8 Andrew John Hughes 2014-08-12 17:32:41 UTC

I've fixed this in the java overlay:

git://git.overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java.git

for 6.9999, 7.9999, 6.1.13.4, 7.2.4.8 and 7.2.5.1. The dependency is gone in 3.x / OpenJDK 8, thanks to 6996921.

The versions mentioned in this bug are very dated and prone to security issues. For 6, you should be using 1.13.4. For 7, either 2.4.8 or 2.5.1 (preferably the latter).

1.12.x is no longer supported at all, and 1.13.1 & 2.4.7 has known security issues.

This fix went into the tree ages ago.
