A number of applets, mostly the 'menu' type applets are not being built in the newly bumped v 0.4.0 of avant-window-navigator Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge the new avant-window-navigator-extras-0.4.0 from the gentoo main repo. Actual Results: Builds fine, but several applets, including e.g. cairo-menu are missing. I can see they have not been built during the compile step. This makes it pretty much useless as I can't launch any apps! Expected Results: Menu applets should have been built. I think it's related to missing USE flag. I see the following in the top level applets/makefile (note it's all commented out in the file) - these all appear to be missing: # --with-gnome #am__append_5 = \ # maintained/cairo-menu \ # unmaintained/main-menu \ # unmaintained/MiMenu \ # unmaintained/pandora \ # unmaintained/stacks \ # maintained/yama \ # $(NULL) My use flags: USE="X a52 aac acl acpi alsa amd64 avahi bash-completion berkdb bluetooth bzip2 cairo caps cdda cdr cjk clamav cli colord consolekit cracklib crypt css cups cxx dbus dri dts dvb dvd dvdr dvr emboss encode exif fam ffmpeg firefox flac fortran ftp gdbm gdu gif gnome gnome-keyring gpm gstreamer gtk hal hardened hdd-temp iconv ipv6 java java6 jpeg jpeg2k lame lcms libnotify lm_sensors mad mime mmx mng modules mp3 mp4 mpeg mplayer mudflap multilib nautilus ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin odbc ogg opengl openmp pam pango pcmcia pcre pdf png policykit ppds pppd pulseaudio qt3support quicktime raw readline rss samba session spell sse sse2 ssl startup-notification svg sysfs tcpd threads tiff truetype udev unicode usb v4l v4l2 vim-syntax vorbis wifi wmf x264 xcb xcomposite xml xorg xpm xulrunner xv xvid xvmc zlib" ALSA_CARDS="hda-intel" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="kexi words flow plan stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="canon" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" DVB_CARDS="usb-dib0700" ELIBC="glibc" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="evdev synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" QEMU_SOFTMMU_TARGETS="i386" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="i810 intel" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account"
The ebuild could have: IUSE="gnome" .. gnome? ( gnome-base/gnome-menus:0 ) ... $(use_with gnome) The check in configure.ac is following: if test "$with_gnome" != "no"; then # main-menu, cairo-menu PKG_CHECK_MODULES(GNOME_MENU, [libgnome-menu]) fi And I left this out of the ebuild in purpose since gnome-base/gnome-menus:0 is obsolete and shouldn't be used in new ebuild(s) anymore. There is no support for gnome-base/gnome-menus:3.
Hmm I see - that's fair enough. Thanks for your reply. For reference, there is also a compatibility problem with gnome-menus-3 upstream. I've copied the launchpad URL for Bug #864925 above.
