Bug 93606 – Can't emerge mkvtoolnix-1.4.2 with wxGTK-2.6.0-r1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Luká Polívka 2005-05-22 13:18:39 UTC]

I want to emerge mkvtoolnix with GUI, but it complains that I didn't compile
wxGTK with gtk2 USE-flag.

mkvtoolnix ebuild searches for certain wxGTK-2.4 files, while I have wxGTK-2.6.0-r1.

As you can see in 'emerge info', gtk2 and wxwindows USE-flags are really set.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. USE="gtk2 wxwindows" to /etc/make.conf
2. emerge wxGTK mkvtoolnix

Actual Results:  
!!! set-wxconfig: Error:  Can't find normal or debug version:
!!! set-wxconfig:         /usr/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config not found
!!! set-wxconfig:         /usr/bin/wxgtk2d-2.4-config not found
!!! You need to emerge wxGTK with gtk2 in your USE

Expected Results:  
mkvtoolnix compiled with GUI

Thanks now it depends directly on wxGTK 2.4 until a 2.6 compatible version 
isn't available.

Actualy, just now, I tried making symlink:
ln -s /usr/bin/wx-config-2.6 /usr/bin/wxgtk2-2.4-config

And you know what? It WORKS! mkvtoolnix-1.4.2 compiles cleanly, runs cleanly,
even after the symlink is deleted, without downgrading to the older wxGTK.

That check for wxgtk2-2.4-config is done by something in the mkvtoolnix source
package or in the ebuild? Maybe one could do some kind of workaround in the
ebuild - either check for REAL version of the package emerged, or create
temporary symlink.

[Comment 3 Bapt 2005-05-30 09:43:32 UTC]

The bug is when invoking the eclass.

The wxwidget.eclass says :
#If you want to use wxGTK-2.6* export WX_GTK_VER in your ebuild
in the function "need-wxwidgets"

so the ebuild must be modified to export WX_GTK_VER=2.6 if the wxGTK-2.6 version
is detected (maybe a new useflag)

I added it manually and it works fine (on amd64 and x86)

I'll add a version using 2.6 as soon as I have time to test them, but the 
current version will be just 2.4 until they can be tested. 
 
Unfortunately 2.6 support breaks from time to time.
