No sounds or icons installed... >>> Install skype-1.4.0.74 into /var/tmp/portage/net-im/skype-1.4.0.74/image/ category net-im install: cannot stat `skype': No such file or directory install: cannot stat `sounds/*.wav': No such file or directory chown: cannot access `/var/tmp/portage/net-im/skype-1.4.0.74/image//opt/skype/skype': No such file or directory
As an added bonus, the application itself is not installed either... $ skype /usr/bin/skype: line 10: /opt/skype/skype: No such file or directory /usr/bin/skype: line 10: exec: /opt/skype/skype: cannot execute: No such file or directory
That's because the static version needs a different ${S} from the dynamic version. I believe the dynamic version is correct, but the static version unpacks to ${PN}_static-${PV}. They also missed the .tar off the dynamic filename, so this isn't the only distribution issue they've suffered this version...
Same here too. Emerging newest skype renders it unusable (no /usr/bin/skype stuff).
Hmm, this might get important. <skype-1.4 is masked :-) So let's hope, not too many users use USE=static ;-)

BTW, just cp skype && cp sounds/* from tarball into /opt/skype directory. Don't forget to set/check your sound notifications in your preferences because it's still a bit missy with this beta version.
> > <skype-1.4 is masked :-) > It's no longer masked in portage tree. You got me wrong. Skype 1.4.0.74 (the broken version) is the only version, that is NOT masked currently. All versions below 1.4.0.74 are masked. See http://www.gentoo-portage.com/net-im/skype
Same here on ~amd64. I had to extract manually, the tarball. I'm using the static flag, because, this is the only way, it can be installed, on this platform: !!! There is no pre-built qt4 for amd64. Please turn the static flag on However, i know at least one person, who doesn't have this problem, and he had this installed fine... :-/
Created attachment 122295 [details] skype-1.4.0.74-r1.ebuild Major rewrite, please test on amd64. Tested and working on x86 w/ both static and non-static.
(In reply to comment #7) > Same here on ~amd64. > I had to extract manually, the tarball. I'm using the static flag, because, > this is the only way, it can be installed, on this platform: Correct; amd64 users must enable USE=static for this. @humpback: you need to package.use.force static on amd64; letting ebuild die really sucks.
Created attachment 122301 [details] skype-1.4.0.74-r1.ebuild OK, this one changes USE=static to USE=qt-static (that's what opera uses) because it's not really static except for QT. Also, fix dbus and other dependencies wrt Bug 179568 (see Bug 179568 Comment #8 there) Please, test.
Created attachment 122303 [details] skype-1.4.0.74-r1.ebuild Eh, no need to install dbus config for qt-static, sorry.

Previous portage build 1.4.0.74 failed as described above. Many thanks.
(In reply to comment #11) > Created an attachment (id=122303) [edit] > skype-1.4.0.74-r1.ebuild Works like a charm! MANY many thanks!
Latest ebuild rocks here too :) thanks!
Latest ebuild work for me on ~amd64. Thanks!
WORKS on x86 like a charm too. (qt4 is masked, so the only way keeping package.unmask empty is to use qt-static.)
(In reply to comment #17) > (qt4 is masked, so the only way keeping package.unmask empty is to use > qt-static.) It's not masked, it's ~arch. You must have it masked locally.
not working for me. i am on ~x86. without useflag static i get the executable, but ahuemer@xeon ~ % skype /opt/skype/skype: symbol lookup error: /opt/skype/skype: undefined symbol: _ZN7QWidget17setAccessibleNameERK7QString ahuemer@xeon ~ % with useflag static i do not get the exeutable. last emerge --sync was 5 minutes ago.
(In reply to comment #19) > not working for me. i am on ~x86. No offense, but you need the ebuild from *this* bug; not the one that's in the tree.
Commiting fix. Thanks Jakub
