[gentoo-user] Ethereal with GTK1.2 broken ebuild

[gentoo-user] Ethereal with GTK1.2 broken ebuild

[Sadin Nurkic]

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone has any hints as to how to build
ethereal with GTK-1.2 support only and not have GTK2.

In past I used to have the USE set to: "-gtk2 gtk", but this does not
seem to work anymore - emerge/ebuild still builds it with GTK2. The
"permanent" USE variable set in make.conf is set the same way, but
regardless of whether the USE variable on the command line is set,
emerge still builds GTK2.

The only way I have found around this is to ebuild unpack the archive
and build it manually.

Is there another way around and can this be fixed?

Regards,
Sadin Nurkic

When looking at the ebuild it's clear that gtk-1.2 support has been
dropped. The solution to your problem might be to add it and use a
personal portage overlay, or file a bug and request that it be added
again however if you do this I'd be sure to checkout the reason for
which it got dropped in the first place first.

Hi,

How and where can I check why it got dropped in the first place? Also,
where can I get more info about how to add a portage overlay - gentoo
wiki/docs?
