Bug 82401 – add krb4 USE flag to gaim-1.1.2

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Ben Gelb 2005-02-17 13:40:35 UTC]

Currently the gaim ebuild does not use the '--with-krb4' configure option to enable krb4 support for Zephyr. This is important if you wish to use a Zephyr system that uses krb4 (at MIT, for example).

I have attached a new ebuild that adds USE flag for krb4.

I thought I had done this before and it had turned out that krb5 wasn't doing things correctly.

You say that this works for you?

[Comment 4 Ben Gelb 2005-02-18 23:35:29 UTC]

Yes, this ebuild does work fine for me.

Hmm... krb5 wasn't doing things correctly? I don't think Zephyr uses krb5.

You do need to build mit-krb5 with the USE="krb4" use flag though, or you'll have no krb4 libraries for gaim to compile with. Perhaps thats what you mean?

Ah that might be what the problem was.  I personally wasn't testing it, so user might have had it misconfigured.  I'll put out a new revision of 1.1.3 for this later this afternoon.

Committed gaim-1.1.3-r1, with a built_with_use check to make sure mit-krb5 was built with USE=krb4, otherwise it'll die during pkg_setup().  Please test this out and let me know how it works for you.

Thanks for the insight.

Yep, seems to work great. Thanks!
