There is a circular dependency between DirectFB and libsdl, if directfb and sdl USE-flags enabled. Compilation of DirectFB fails with error: sdlinput.c:36:17: error: SDL.h: No such file or directory. Compilation of libsdl fails with error: SDL_DirectFB_events.c:32:22: error: directfb.h: No such file or directory How to reproduce: 1. Make sure both DirectFB and libsdl are not installed 2. Enable both directfb and libsdl USE-flags in /etc/make.conf 3. Try to emerge either DirectFB or libsdl. A possible workaround is to disable directfb USE-flag, then libsdl compiles OK. ======================================================================= My output of emerge --info: Portage 2.1.1 (default-linux/x86/2006.1/desktop, gcc-4.1.1, glibc-2.4-r3, 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.17-gentoo-r8 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) XP 2700+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.5 Last Sync: Sat, 23 Sep 2006 11:00:01 +0000 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] app-admin/eselect-compiler: [Not Present] dev-java/java-config: [Not Present] dev-lang/python: 2.4.3-r1 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r3 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.17-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -g0 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -g0 -march=athlon-xp -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks fixpackages metadata-transfer parallel-fetch sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo ftp://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo/ http://ftp.du.se/pub/os/gentoo http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LANG="en_US.utf8" LINGUAS="en ru" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac alsa berkdb bidi bitmap-fonts bluetooth boundschecking cairo caps cddb cdio cdr chroot cli crypt css dbus dga directfb divx divx4linux dlloader dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvdread elibc_glibc emboss encode esd exif fam fbcon ffmpgeg firefox flac font-server fortran freetype ftp gdbm gif glitz gpm gs gtk gtk2 gtkhtml hal icq imlib input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse isdnlog jpeg kde kdeenablefinal kdepim kdexdeltas kernel_linux linguas_en linguas_ru live lm_sensors mad matroska mikmod mmx mmxext mozilla mp3 mpeg mplayer ncurses network nls noamazon nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg openal opengl pam pcre pdf perl plotutils png ppds pppd qt3 qt4 quicktime readline real reflection reiser4 reiserfs rtc sdl session silverxp spell spl sse ssl stream svg svga tcltk tcpd tetex truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev unicode usb userland_GNU vchroot video_cards_fbdev video_cards_nv video_cards_nvidia video_cards_v4l video_cards_vesa vlm vorbis win32codecs wma wmf wxgtk1 wxwindows xcomposite xml xorg xosd xscreensaver xv xvid zlib" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
both libsdl and the directfb packages check for the circular issue you didnt say what versions of directfb or libsdl you're using ... also, post full build logs rather than just snippets
This bug was noticed with the following versions of the packages: media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.24 Now I have rersync'ed the portage database, and both packages compile. However, there is a warning that the support for the other library will be disabled. The initial bug cannot be reproduced anymore.

For example, compiling libsdl, DirectFB and again libsdl gives no warnings in the end: >>> Compiling source in /var/tmp/portage/libsdl-1.2.11/work/SDL-1.2.11 ... * econf: updating SDL-1.2.11/build-scripts/config.guess with * /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.guess * econf: updating SDL-1.2.11/build-scripts/config.sub with * /usr/share/gnuconfig/config.sub ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-rpath --enable-events --enable-cdrom --enable-threads --enable-timers --enable-endian --enable-file --enable-cpuinfo --disable-oss --enable-alsa --disable-esd --disable-arts --disable-nas --enable-video-x11 --enable-dga --enable-video-x11-xv --disable-video-x11-xinerama --enable-video-x11-xrandr --enable-video-dga --enable-video-fbcon --disable-video-ggi --enable-video-svga --disable-video-aalib --disable-video-caca --enable-video-opengl --with-x --disable-video-x11-xme --enable-nasm --enable-video-dummy --enable-video-directfb --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
ok ...
we'll assume your tree is out of date the warning is what you should get as there isnt anything we can really do about this
*** Bug 152405 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Well, if there's no better solution, mark this CANTFIX, but it really is not invalid. # USE="-* directfb sdl" emerge -pv libsdl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! !!! Error: circular dependencies: ebuild / media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 merge depends on ebuild / dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1 merge (hard) ebuild / dev-libs/DirectFB-0.9.25.1 merge depends on ebuild / media-libs/libsdl-1.2.11 merge (hard)
it was INVALID as the portage stuff you speak of did not exist at the time and the bug reported here is unrelated to your output
Isn't this bug in fact dup of bug #152405 ?
