I'm trying to build mplayer. One of the dependancies is libsdl.
That's where the emerge dies. I won't bother with the diagnostics here.
I found http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89628 which had a few
messages. One of them claimed that they had managed to get libsdl to
build by commenting out the following two lines in the ebuild...
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${PV}-gcc2.patch #75392
epatch "${FILESDIR}"/${P}-gcc2.patch.bz2 #86481
That doesn't look too hard. However, after doing that, I get...
!!! Digest verification failed
and the emerge halts in its tracks, because I've manually changed the
ebuild. I understand the point of checksums and verification. But in
this case, I want to bypass it. I didn't find anything in the emerge
man page. So my question is how do I get it to build now? I don't care
whether it's a matter of doing a new checksum or bypassing verification.
I just want the damn thing to build.
I have never fiddled around with an ebuild before, so I need specific
instructions if I have to generate a new checksum. This would be my
first time.
