[gentoo-amd64] mplayer build hangs at checking for freetype

[gentoo-amd64] mplayer build hangs at checking for freetype

[Sebastian Beßler]

Hi,

to enable xinerama-support I want to rebuild mplayer but it hangs at

Checking for ALSA audio ... yes (using alsa 1.0.x and alsa/asoundlib.h)
Checking for Sun audio ... no
Checking for VCD support ... yes
Checking for dvdread ... yes (internal)
Checking for internal libdvdcss ... yes
Checking for cdparanoia ... no
Checking for libcdio ... yes
Checking for bitmap font support ... yes
Checking for freetype >= 2.0.9 ... ^C

and nothing goes.
I tried it over the last few days a few times and always cut it after 3h
or so.

I can install and update other programms without problems.
Only mplayer shows this effect, I tried all ebuilds of mplayer amd64 and
~amd64 but the effect is everytime the same.

I am open for every idea.

Greetings

A quick bug-check says it's a known issue, related to a conflict between 
the portage sandbox and openal.  USE=-openal works for many, if you don't 
specifically need openal, of course, otherwise, consider FEATURES=-
sandbox (which is a bit safer if you run FEATURES=userpriv).

You may wish to CC yourself to that bug.

FWIW I seem to have missed the bug as emerge --pretend mplayer says I 
have USE=-openal (which euse -i says is open audio library, but that's 
about all I know about it).
