[gentoo-dev] What to do :?

[Gila]

hey guys....

i am making a ebuild for a file share program that works fine imho.. but
i got a question:

The main program is console based but a GUI is optional. the problem is
that i want to make a ebuild that compiles the GUI is the gtk use flag
is set. How do i make it so that IF use GTK it downloads configure make
make install the GUI in one ebuild ?

i think i have seen this several times allready. just make two ebuild which 
differ in name like
program-console.xxx.ebuild
program-gui.xxx.ebuild

the one "DEPEND" ´s on gtk and installs the gui, the other does not
so the end-user can choose what he likes, this way getting gtk automatically 
if he needs the gui

if you did so, you could also make a general ebuild named

progrem-xxx.ebuild,
which has some struct like

 DEPEND=" >=program-console-xxxx
           gtk? ( >=program-gui-xxxx )
...
"
but doesnt install anything itself,

like the "system" ebuild which just depends on all important system ebuild

look at the several xmms ebuilds, i think they may be good examples to look at

You probably want to make two packages, Foo-console and Foo-gui.  Foo-gui
should depend on Foo-console, therefor if you choose to install Foo-gui
it will install Foo-console automatically.  This is the way the xine
packages work (which you should probably take a look at).  Xine-ui depends
on xine-lib, so when you emerge xine-ui, you get a fully functional gui
xine, but if you emerge xine-lib, you end up with just the libraries
needed for another xine frontend.

It really depends.  In the case of Xine, the main Xine package
is a library, which xine-ui depends on, so it makes sense to
have two ebuilds.

If your program have only one source tarball, and uses GTK+ to
build the gui, you would rather have it build console if 'gtk'
is not in USE, else if it is, build both.
