If I analyze using this script | Code: | #!/bin/bash
for i in $(find /var/db/pkg -name 'NEEDED') ;do
grep -q -e'libGL.so' "$i" &&g='libGL' ||g=''
grep -q -e'libGLES' "$i" &&g="$g libGLES"
grep -q -e'libEGL.s' "$i" &&g="$g libEGL"
grep -q -e'libglx' "$i" &&g="$g libglx"
i=${i/\/var\/db\/pkg\/}
[ "$g" = "" ] ||echo "${i%\/NEEDED} $g"
done |
I do get various doubles:
net-libs/webkit-gtk-2.4.9 libGLES libEGL
media-libs/gst-plugins-bad-1.6.3 libGL libEGL
media-libs/mesa-11.1.2-r1 libGL libGLES libEGL
dev-qt/qtgui-5.5.1-r1 libGLES libEGL
media-plugins/gst-plugins-vaapi-0.7.0 libGL libEGL
In some Gentoo bugs there is stated
mixing up OpenGL, Egl and Gles may crash you system.
But on the other hand portage often requires
to set both USE flags Egl and Gles2. Any clue somebody? |

That's a very general statement that cannot possibly be answered. |

Despite yesterday having read that bug in question I cannot re-find it again. Remembering the user said: Most of all ABI functions are in all of that libraries and you should not mix them during runtime.
Finding the power you get when utilizing the /var/db/..../NEEDED files for analyzing that situation:
| Code: | | # cd /var/db/pkg &&grep -r -l --include="NEEDED" -e'libGL.so' -e'libGLES' -e'libwayland' -e'libEGL.so' |
I suggest you play with such:
| Code: | # cd /var/db/pkg && \
USE='-gles -gles1 -gles2 -opengl webgl mesa -classic gallium wayland egl' \
emerge --deep --ask --verbose \
$(grep -r -l --include="NEEDED" -e'libGL.so' -e'libGLES' -e'libwayland' -e'libEGL.so' |sed -e's/^/=/' -e's:/NEEDED::')
|
You will not find one line of USE flags that fits them all! (This also when using any "--exclude=webkit-gtk" directive)

This sounds to me more like an application development issue than a system configuration issue. I think they're suggesting that an application should select one interface and stick to it, and not mix two interfaces. You could "fix" this if you felt you needed to on an app-by-app, lib-by-lib basis in package.use. Probably the biggest issue would be some common lib with USE flags for multiple interfaces, where package1 needs one interface and package2 needs a different one. It might take a bit of juggling, or hoping that the lib author was able to understand his calling context interface.

@depontius, you enlightened me. Already was wondering why my system would not crash far more often  |
