My question is how do other packages that build against a slotted

Generally, there is no need to do that in an ebuild. The software package's
configure script will automatically run pkg-config in order to determine
which flags must be passed to the linker. (Assuming that you are referring to
an application which is written in a variant of C.)
I've run across a similar issue in creating an ebuild for CastPodder.
CastPodder is a python
application that uses wxpython and pygtk. Currently CastPodder only
works with Python 2.4 and requires
the same major/minor version of wxpython and pygtk. I've set:
DEPEND="=dev-lang/python-2.4*
=dev-python/wxpython-2.4*
>dev-python/pyxmms-2.0
=dev-python/pygtk-2.4*"
to attempt to handle this dependency. On my x86 system, I have slotted
install of:
* dev-python/wxpython
Available versions: 2.4.2.4 2.4.2.4-r3 ~2.6.0.0-r1 2.6.1.0
Installed: 2.4.2.4-r3 2.6.1.0
Now when CastPodder is ran, it is reporting:
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py:13155:
UserWarning: wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch
warnings.warn("wxPython/wxWidgets release number mismatch")
Notice that it is using wxpython-2.6 instead of 2.4. Any ideas on how I
can more explicitly specify
the 2.4 slot?
TIA,
Roy
