Re: [proaudio] Aeolus failing to emerge

[Karl Lindén <karl.j.linden@xxxxxxxxx>]

Great!

Does the phasex ebuild install files in /usr/share/var/tmp/...? (I have no oppurtunity to check the complete path right now because I'm not at home.) I managed to produce a patch and an updated ebuild, but it seems like the build system has a few flaws (it's badly constructed, IMO). It, for example, installs a .desktop in a non-standard directory and installs files into the above mentioned (strange) path.

I was able to emerge phasex by typing :  LDFLAGS="-lX11" emerge phasex

Thanks for the info.. I found the bug report right after sending the email.. The fixes look trivial for both Aeolus and Phasex.. but obviously there is not a lot of interest.

You might have run into this bug [1]. Also from 2011, due to underlinking and found with tinderbox.

It's the same thing. I guess no one has taken the time off to fix it, even if a fix (in the phasex case, atleast) would be quite trivial.

The main problematic thing, I guess, is that Phasex is not actively maintained anymore (the homepage has been down and is now something _completely_ different [2]). There are some updates at a github repository [3], but the last commit was 8 months ago. Also, there are some major open bugs.

Its amazing to me that the bug you mentioned is from 2011.  I read the article that the bug links to, but did not understand it completely.  

I tried to emerge phasex and am getting another linking bug.  I didn't have a chance to look closely.  I will try  to do tonight.

That worked for me.  Thanks.

It looks like you have hit this bug [1]. I can reproduce it too.

I don't think you need to edit the ebuild. This worked for me:

# LDFLAGS="-ldl" emerge aeuolus

Please report back with the result! :)

Opps.. didn't realize this was a gentoo and not proaudion ebuild.  

Forgive my ignorance... What do I need to change in an ebuild to do either of those things?

Hey, you could try removing "--as-needed" from LDFLAGS or adding "-ldl".
Tell us what works :)
