Oops, that's only coincidentally related to libevent-2..
The DEPEND is fixed in -r2. I had to bump libevent-1.* too to get IUSE=static-libs into a version that is not package.masked.
Fixed then.
Ehm, no. See my original comment Broken test, checks for file presence rather than using AC_CHECK_LIB, PKG_CHECK_MODULES or the like. It does not NEED the static-libs; it links to the dynamic one, but it checks for the file presence of /usr/lib/libevent.a which is plainly wrong (especially on multilib). If you wish I can write a libevent-checking macro, later on today.
Silly of me. I'm looking into it.
(In reply to comment #5) > If you wish I can write a libevent-checking macro, later on today. Yes, why don't you? :)
Created attachment 252505 [details] Generic library checking macro Okay so I went and wrote a macro to check for generic libraries, and I provided an example usage pointing to libevent itself. Should be safe to use this to reimplement the libevent test. I also submitted it to the autoconf archive for future reference.
I didn't know what to do with that m4, so instead I had the configure script simply look for libevent.so instead of libevent.a. It works for me and it doesn't require me to do upstream's work. Fixed in -r3.
