Description Michael Prager 2004-05-30 17:36:38 UTC
When emerging clanlib 0.6.5-r1, the additional file clanlib-config is copied to /usr/bin/clanlib-config. This is fine for 0.7.x but in 0.6.x there is already such a file included in the library! This file is originally intended to return flags and lib dir when compiling 0.6.x games. The script file installed by the ebuild however does not have this functionality. Instead it is intended to create a symlink to the current library path.

As a result games using 0.6.x and the original clanlib-config won't compile because the library can not be found and the compile parameters are missing.

A good example of such a game is wormux (http://www.haypocalc.com/wormux/en/index.php).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try to compile wormux
2.
3.

0.6.5-r2 and 0.7.8-r1 resolve this
