[gentoo-user] libXp-1.0.3 emerge issue

[Gerrit Kuehn]

Hello,

I keep a "private" overlay with d deprecated libXp and printproto ports
I need for existing software to link against. This used to work fine
until switching profiles to 17. Now printproto still emerges fine,but
with libXp it stops at configure stage with

[...]
checking whether stripping libraries is possible... yes
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes

configure: error: Package requirements (x11 >= 1.6 xext xextproto xau
printproto) were not met:

No package 'x11' found
No package 'xext' found
No package 'xau' found
Package 'xau', required by 'printproto', not found

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.

Alternatively, you may set the environment variables XPRINT_CFLAGS
and XPRINT_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

This is somehow caused by multilib settings, I guess. Just untar'ing
the archive and doing configure/make works fine. It appears as if just
the ebuild went unhappy. It looks like this:

Any ideas how to fix this properly (apart from having upstream to not
require libXp in the first place)?
