  hm.  this was interesting.  I'm doing:

DEPEND="virtual/x11
            tk? ( dev-lang/tk )"

src_compile() {

        local myopts

        if [ "`use tk`" ]
        then
                myopts="--with-tk"
        fi

        ./configure \
                --host=${CHOST} \
                --prefix=/usr \
                --infodir=/usr/share/info \
                --mandir=/usr/share/man \
                --sysconfdir=/etc \
                --localstatedir=/var \
                ${myopts} || die "./configure failed"
        
        make all || die
}

  and for testing I tried the command line:

USE="-tk" emerge scilab

  now, the dependency-check comes out as it should, portage doesn't
  start to grab TCL/TK.  _but_ the "`use tk`" doesn't seem to notice
  the USE="-tk" statement.  I have "tk" listed as a USE-flag in
  /etc/make.conf but I would _really_ expect Portage to ignore that
  when I explicitly say that I don't want tk right now on the command
  line.  hopefully I'm doing something very stupid, can someone please
  tell me how to deal with this?

  (sent to both gentoo-user and gentoo-dev, with reply set to
  gentoo-dev)

USE="-foo" is still not fixed, I'm afraid.  Check back 
after the next portage release....

  okay, but that means my ebuild is correct, does it not?  (at least
  those relevant bits that I posted...  ;-)

Hi!

Historically, 'tcltk' was the USE flag for both tcl and tk.  tcl and tk
used to be in one package, but were split into separate packages a
couple months ago.  However, the 'tcltk' USE flag was never split to my
knowledge, although it probably should be.  Tis will require some work
updating all the ebuilds with tcltk in them.

Regards,

tod

USE="-foo" or export USE="-foo" from the command line
does not work currently. Daniel is working on the problem and will have 
it fixed soon.
