Description Paul Sadauskas 2005-02-27 15:10:03 UTC

With the "ncurses" use flag set, emerge emvs fails to compile the ncurses utility evmsn. Watching the emerge process carefully reveals, in the ./configure process:
configure: checking which EVMS user interfaces to build:
configure:      building cli
configure:      not building gui ... disabled by user
configure:      not building text-mode ... requires glib library



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="ncurses -gtk" emerge evms   (while glib is not installed)



Actual Results:  
root # evms
evms                   evms_metadata_backup   evms_query
evms_activate          evms_metadata_restore  evmsd
evms_gather_info       evms_mpathd            evmsd_worker


(no evmsn utility available)

Expected Results:  
evmsn should be there

As far as I can tell, the ebuild just needs to be modified to include "glib" as
a dependency when the "ncurses" use flag is set.

Please see my forum post (

and how I solved it myself.

Just wanted to update: I emerged glib, then evms. Still no evmsn, same message in ./configure (can't find glib). I'm looking into it some more.

It needs glib-1.2  When you emerged glib, did you specify that version?

I added glib-1 as a dep in 2.3.4, 2.5.1 and 2.5.2 when USE=ncurses.  Thanks for pointing this out.
