[gentoo-dev] LINCVS problem emerging

[Daniel Schröter]

I tried to emerge lincvs but there was a problem with the depencency
I think the ebuild-file has possibly an error (or my portage-tree is broken...)

root@morpheus lincvs # emerge dev-util/lincvs
Calculating dependencies \
!!! Error: couldn't find match for =x11-libs/qt-x11-2* in dev-util/lincvs-0.3.0-r1

root@morpheus lincvs # emerge lincvs-0.3.0-r1.ebuild
Calculating dependencies \
!!! Error: couldn't find match for =x11-libs/qt-x11-2* in dev-util/lincvs-0.3.0-r1

I've looked at the build-file /usr/portage/dev-util/lincvs/lincvs-0.3.0-r1.ebuild 
In my portage-tree i don't have a x11-libs/qt-x11 so I changed this to x11-libs/qt (not sure if I did the right thing...)

DEPEND="kde? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-2.1.1 )
       # =x11-libs/qt-x11-2*"
        >=x11-libs/qt
RDEPEND="$DEPEND
         dev-util/cvs"

The I tried again to emerge...

root@morpheus lincvs # pwd
/usr/portage/dev-util/lincvs
root@morpheus lincvs # ls
ChangeLog  files  lincvs-0.3.0-r1.ebuild
root@morpheus lincvs # emerge lincvs-0.3.0-r1.ebuild

Since you deleted version (PV part), you need to delete the "=" before the 
specification. The way you have it now you are telling portage that lincvs 
should depend on *exactly* qt?-what? ??
You cannot have either PV or >=,<=,=,~... in [R]DEPEND. You should have both 
or none. But here comes the question: are you sure lincvs will compile wit 
qt-3*? My guess is "=" is there for a reason. I think thats a "-x11" part 
that is problematic (see below).

The error you get after your modifications actually tells me that it it "#" 
emerge is confused about. Is this code you put above exact replica of what is 
in your ebuild? 
In this case no wonder it will bobm out: [R]DEPEND definition should be 
enclosed in ""; it can contain {whitespace+\n} separated entries, but nothing 
else! Thus "#" inside your DEPEND line won't work. Even if it did you would 
be commenting out closing ". So that entry should read:
DEPEND="kde? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-2.1.1 )
	=x11-libs/qt-2*"

Also, I see the original ebuild depends on qt-x11, - it looks like the ebuild 
is really outdated, I would guess nobody dared to emerge it in quite a while. 
Please submit your changes to bugs.gentoo.org as you get it to work, or in 
any case please file a bug report.
Thanks!

Thanks for your help. I changed the ebuild to be able to compile it
DEPEND="kde? ( >=kde-base/kdelibs-2.1.1 )
        x11-libs/qt"
But I got some errors while compiling. At http://www.lincvs.org/ I found out that the actual version is 0.9.9 so why am I trying to install 0.3?
Think I'll try to create my first ebuild-script soon...
