Created attachment 337630 [details] Working multilib ebuild As media-libs/freetype is a part of emul-linux-x86-xlibs, I have prepared a conversion of it along with the X11 packages. I will attach a complete ebuild and a diff. Functional changes: 1) includes are installed to libdir. This was necessary to split the ABI-dependant configs (bug 254646) but it won't hurt packages using pkg-config; 2) removed epunt_cxx (a no-op here), 3) added a blocker on current emul-linux-x86-xlibs versions (to fix collisions), 4) converted the package to autotools-multilib. I know that Samuli is autotools-* eclass hater, so he'd probably want to reinvent all the wheels. Feel free to do so.

I don't think this is quite ready for prime-time yet. Let's test this in x11 overlay for a while, and in the meantime see where the dev ML discussion is going.

I am mostly asking for general/code feedback on non-X11 packages so that at least a few checkboxes could be crossed.
It should be noted that it doesn't work on a clean system ;). Setting another includedir breaks freetype-config (and yes, we should finally remove it/replace with pkg-config), and that breaks fontconfig build. Ancient compatibility mess...

Since there's a few users of multilib-build in the tree, we'd like to proceed deploying X11 libraries from emul-linux-x86-xlibs to the tree. Since freetype is part of that set, I'd appreciate your +1/-1 ASAP so we would know whether to keep the two in emul-linux or convert as well.
Committed.
You broke USE=utils. * Building utils make -j10 V=1 X11_PATH=/usr/lib64 ../freetype-2.4.11/config.mk:25: ../freetype-2.4.11/builds/unix/unix-def.mk: No such file or directory ../freetype-2.4.11/config.mk:26: ../freetype-2.4.11/builds/unix/unix-cc.mk: No such file or directory make: *** No rule to make target `../freetype-2.4.11/builds/unix/unix-cc.mk'. Stop.
(In reply to comment #9) > You broke USE=utils. Oh, I'm sorry. I won't be able to fix it in next ~8 hours, so I'll package.mask the new versions for a while.
Took me a while but fixed them finally. I've also opened a bug upstream [1] asking them to make it easier, or at least a bit more consistent. [1]:https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?38412

Since > freetype is part of that set, I'd appreciate your +1/-1 ASAP so we would > know whether to keep the two in emul-linux or convert as well. You already had my -1 in comment #2. You pushed it through regardless, with ack by lu_zero who hasn't touched the package in 8 years. Since you broke a lot of packages doing so, as I feared, I have masked your ebuild. But I still am of the opinion that this should be developed and tested in an overlay instead of the tree. Before considering unmasking this, we need to decide as a developer community that this is indeed the way we want to go. As I see it now, it has its problems.
