Bug 27139 – emerge -u libdv (media-libs/libdv-0.99-r1) doesn't run through configure, claims missing -lXv

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Roberto Nibali 2003-08-22 12:55:24 UTC]

When I invoke

emerge -u libdv

it will fail with:checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... GNU/Linux ld.so
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build shared libraries... yes
checking whether to build static libraries... yes
checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no

checking for XvQueryAdaptors in -lXv... no
configure: error: Could not find Xv Lib

!!! ERROR: media-libs/libdv-0.99-r1 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 324, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

But if I call ./configure by hand after untar'ing the source tarball it runs
smoothly. Also note that the library actually is on the system:

# ls -ald /usr/X11R6/lib/libXv.*

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge -u libdv
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
configure fails

Expected Results:  
completely emerged package ;)

I get the same error. It appears to be the result of the disable gtk patch that was introduced with r1. If I remove the line telling it to apply the disable gtk patch from the ebuild and try merging the package it merges perfectly.

[Comment 2 Roberto Nibali 2003-08-23 01:06:48 UTC]

I can confirm this: commenting the epatch line in the ebuild solves the problem. Since I have installed gtk+ anyway I go for this solution to be able to upgrade to mplayer-0.91 ;).

Thanks for the prompt help.

[Comment 3 Max Kalika (RETIRED) 2003-08-25 11:50:25 UTC]

This should be fixed in cvs.  Please confirm by doing: 
 
 emerge --sync 
 emerge --oneshot =libdv-0.99-r1 

[Comment 4 Roberto Nibali 2003-08-25 12:40:00 UTC]

I'm afraid, no change in state, the same problem. But maybe I missed something, maybe your patch hasn't sync'd to the mirrors yet ;).

[Comment 5 Matthew 2003-08-25 13:07:53 UTC]

I just tried it and the eBuild works, however I noticed a new SDL error during the configure stage. I'm going to investigate that error as it might just be my system.

[Comment 6 Matt Taylor 2003-09-04 16:33:22 UTC]

This problem happens with me now.  Removing the epatch line allows configure to complete.

[Comment 7 Marc Bevand 2003-09-07 14:34:07 UTC]

I have encountered the bug #27139, and I have a solution.

It is actually due to an error in ``libdv-0.99-disablegtk.patch'', the following
line:
    +LIBS="-lXv -L/usr/X11R6/lib $LIBS"
should be changed to:
    +LIBS="-lXv -lXext -L/usr/X11R6/lib $LIBS"
Now the libdv configure script will be able to link its test program that
checks if -lXv is present.

Max Kalika: please do not remove ``dev-util/pkgconfig'' from DEPEND, libdv
seems to really need it (I have had to manually emerge dev-util/pkgconfig to
be able to emerge libdv).

[Comment 8 Max Kalika (RETIRED) 2003-09-10 12:14:59 UTC]

ok, added -lExt to the patch.  Seems to be working so I'm going to mark it 
fixed.  If you find other problems, please reopen.
