Bug 33796 – OCAML won't automaticly fetch tk if tcltk is in the USE variable

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Cye Stoner 2003-11-18 20:20:08 UTC]

When trying to emerge ocaml (for mldonkey), it won't fetch the tk library
(required for tcltk support) automaticly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Don't have tk installed
2. USE="tcltk" emerge dev-ml/lablg (or mldonkey, et al.)
Actual Results:  
lablgl complains that tk support is not compiled in to ocaml.

Expected Results:  
fetched the tk libraries

Not documentrelated

The 'complaint' of the lablgl ebuild (should) state clearly that you have to reemerge ocaml with tk support (e.g: USE="tcltk" emerge ocaml). If that wasn't clear, perhaps we need to change the wording. Besides, if you had not ocaml already merged, it should build it with tcltk support (given you have tcltk in the USE var, as ebuilds can't specify USE flags in deps yet), otherwise it's a portage bug.

Invalidating bug, as the reporter did not respond for some time and the problem is not a bug.
