[gentoo-user] media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524 fails to emerge

May 24th, 2012 - 12:00 pm ET by Michael Sullivan | Report spam
I seriously screwed up my system this week, and broke myth. Now I'm
trying to emerge media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524 since my old myth
version is no longer supported (the ebuilds aren't even still around).
The emerge goes along fine until it gets to this part:

mythrender_opengl.cpp: In function 'int __glCheck__(const QString&,
const char*, int)':
mythrender_opengl.cpp:38: error: 'gluErrorString' was not declared in
this scope
make[2]: *** [mythrender_opengl.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524/work/MythTV-mythtv-347cd24/mythtv/libs/libmythui'
make[1]: *** [sub-libmythui-make_default] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/media-tv/mythtv-0.24.1_p20110524/work/MythTV-mythtv-347cd24/mythtv/libs'
make: *** [libs] Error 2

Most of our TV watching is off Myth. We only have one show that we
follow that's currently in season and that's on Monday, so I'd really
like to have this working by then. Can anyone help me?

I can't help you fix that error, but I have something just as good :-)

myth is still installed, just broken right? You didn;t uninstall it?

In /var/db/pkg/<cat>/<package-version>/ you will find the ebuild that
is currently installed (despite it not being in the tree anymore). Copy
it to your personal overlay and continue to use it till you get the
error sorted out.
