I understand that, but Philip wrote that he wanted to find out if he could |
| 19 |
compile ff without alsa-lib beeing present. To just test this case, emerge |
| 20 |
--nodeps ff is perfect. If he finds out that ff would infact compile |
| 21 |
without alsa-lib, he could open a bug rebort at b.g.o to make alsa-lib |
| 22 |
optional. (or for that matter, create a patched ebuild in his local overlay) |
