Created attachment 267007 [details] corrected cheese-2.91.92 ebuild cheese-2.91.92 and -9999 (in gnome overlay) have a required (not optional, as the ebuild implies) dependency on >=vala-0.11.6 (see http://git.gnome.org/browse/cheese/tree/configure.ac). However, automake's AM_PROG_VALAC is rather broken: it only looks for valac that is literally called "valac", while Gentoo's vala:0.12 installs its valac as /usr/bin/valac-0.12 As a result, cheese fails to configure: checking for valac... /usr/bin/valac checking /usr/bin/valac is at least version 0.11.6... no configure: error: Vala 0.11.6 not found. !!! Please attach the following file when seeking support: !!! /var/tmp/portage/media-video/cheese-2.91.92/work/cheese-2.91.92/config.log * ERROR: media-video/cheese-2.91.92 failed (configure phase): * econf failed To fix this problem, we need to add "VALAC=$(type -p valac-0.12)" to G2CONF. The 2.91.92 ebuild with the corrected dependencies and G2CONF is attached below. Note: this will also need to be fixed in cheese-9999.
Fixed, thanks for reporting!
(In reply to comment #1) > Fixed, thanks for reporting! G2CONF has been fixed, but DEPEND and IUSE are still wrong. Cheese-2.91.92 has a required build-time dependency on vala (basically, the entire program is now written in vala). The vala use flag needs to go away, and the >=dev-lang/vala-0.11.6:0.12 dependency is always required.
Hum. Upstream's autotools is broken, they're generating the .c files from the .vala files, but their build system seems intent on regenerating them when you try to compile the application. Oh well, I've added the dependency for now.
