Ghostscript needs gtk...

[Lawless]

Want to update my ghostscript on an X less server. So no X, gtk or anything else...
My USE flags say -X and -gtk and an emerge -upv ghostscript gives me

Code: Select all

[ebuild     U ] app-text/ghostscript-7.07.1-r8 [7.07.1-r7] -X -cjk +cups -debug -emacs -gtk 0 kB 

But it still stops compiling at dxmain.c where it says

Code: Select all

/bin/sh: gtk-config: command not found
/bin/sh: gtk-config: command not found
./src/dxmain.c:36:21: gtk/gtk.h: No such file or directory
./src/dxmain.c:44: error: parse error before "data"
./src/dxmain.c:45: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
./src/dxmain.c:83: error: parse error before "data"
./src/dxmain.c:84: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
./src/dxmain.c: In function `read_stdin_handler':
./src/dxmain.c:85: error: `data' undeclared (first use in this function)

and lots of errors following because of gtk.h

The previous version compiled cleanly. How to tell him not to use gtk?
I couldn't find anything in the ebuild but I'm not really god at writing ebuilds...

I found the same problem so I compared the ebuilds for -r8 with -r7.

My "fix" was to comment out the extra statements for building shared objects. If you look through the ebuild you should see two separate lines which have

Code: Select all

emake so

and

Code: Select all

emake soinstall

Just put "#" at the start of these lines and you should be able to build.

I haven't tested anything yet to see if this is safe and I couldn't find anything to tell me what the shared objects are for. However, as they weren't built in -r7 and the changelog doesn't refer to this change as a bug, I'm hoping it's OK

The problem is that one of the ghostscript makefiles uses gtk-config and (as far as I can tell from reading around) this only comes with gtk+1, not with gtk+2 and there isn't any test I could spot that could configure this out.

HTH

Hmm, only found this one

Code: Select all

emake so -j1 || die "make failed"

but commenting out didn't helped...

[george]

That's the first one.

10 lines down is the other one with

Code: Select all

make .... soinstall ....

I guess that if you don't comment the second one then make will try to build the files before installing them.

submit a bug report.

Had overseen the second line - could it install now. Thx.
