Description James C. Georgas 2005-02-01 16:00:25 UTC

I tried to emerge celestia today. Celestia requires gtkglext (version 1.0.5 as of this bug report). In the gtkglext ebuild, pkg_setup() tests for the existence of /etc/env.d/09opengl, and fails because this file does not exist on my system. I have 03opengl and I have 09ati. It looks like something got rearranged w.r.t. these files.

Solution:

I changed 09opengl to 03opengl, and it seemed to build properly.

Comment 2 James C. Georgas 2005-02-01 16:38:05 UTC

Thanks. This ebuild has issues...

I think that if there's a problem with the nvidia headers, as the comment in this ebuild suggests, then they should be fixed in the nvidia ebuild.

Changing the current opengl implementation with opengl-update causes another bug in this ebuild.

Since the code that changes the opengl implementation is in pkg_setup() and the code that restores it is in pkg_postinst(), they can me called in two separate invocations of the ebuild. This means that the second invocation will not have the variable USING_X11 set, and the test will error out because it will only see [ -eq 1 ], and try to interpret -eq as a unary operator. The result will be that if the opengl implementation was changed in pkg_setup(), then it will not be changed back by the second invocation. I saw this error, probably because I built a binary package during the install.
