An confirmed bug in x11-libs/fox-1.6.40 makes configure ignore --without-opengl causing the build to fail e.g. when glu is not installed. Supposedly fixed in 1.6.41. Definitely fixed in 1.6.45. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -C glu 2. USE='-opengl' emerge -va1 fox 3. Actual Results: Build fails although configure is passed the correct options: ./configure --prefix=/usr --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-bz2lib --enable-jpeg --without-opengl --enable-png --enable-tiff --with-xft --enable-zlib --enable-release --without-profiling <snip> /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.4/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -lGLU collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Expected Results: Build should not depend on opengl when -opengl is used. Supposedly fixed upstream in 1.6.41: http://fox-toolkit.2306850.n4.nabble.com/Building-Fox-without-OpenGL-d4012257.html
