wxGTK-2.8.7.1-r1 and wxGTK-2.8.7.1-r2 ebuilds always build wxGTK library including unicode support (and not the ansi version), without even taking a look at the unicode USE flag. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: USE=-unicode emerge wxGTK Actual Results: Unicode version of wxGTK built, ansi version not built Expected Results: Ansi version of wxGTK built, unicode version not built
Unicode is now fortunately mandatory. http://psykil.livejournal.com/318374.html "The biggest change in our wxGTK-2.8 is we are no longer supporting the ansi profile; that is, we are unicode-only. The upcoming wxWidgets 3.0 will do away with the ansi/unicode split and simply use UTF-8 for everything. If your package supports building against the unicode libraries (most should), we encourage you to at least provide that option with a unicode USE flag or at most make it the default. ;)"
