If you want libcanberra and therefore you must have USE="gtk", but you do not want to have any other packages compiled with the gtk USE flag, you can define it only for the package in question by adding a line in /etc/portage/package.use like so: media-libs/libcanberra gtk -oss to e.g. enable the gtk and disable the oss flags. To see whether a flag has been set or not and relevant information about it, run: euse -i <flag> For libcanberra it shows: [- cD ] gtk (media-libs/libcanberra): Enables building of gtk+ helper library, gtk+ runtime sound effects and the canberra-gtk-play utility. To enable the gtk+ sound effects add canberra-gtk- module to the colon separated list of modules in the GTK_MODULES environment variable. Use option -I to see which packages have been installed using a particular flag. Have a look in man euse to decipher the symbols. To see all the flags for a particular package after it has been installed run: equery uses libcanberra [ Searching for packages matching libcanberra... ] [ Colour Code : set unset ] [ Legend : Left column (U) - USE flags from make.conf ] [ : Right column (I) - USE flags packages was installed with ] [ Found these USE variables for media-libs/libcanberra-0.26 ] U I + + alsa : Adds support for media-libs/alsa-lib (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture) - - gstreamer : Adds support for media-libs/gstreamer (Streaming media) + + gtk : Adds support for x11-libs/gtk+ (The GIMP Toolkit) - - oss : Adds support for OSS (Open Sound System) - - pulseaudio : Adds support for PulseAudio sound server - + sound : Enable sound support - - tdb : Enables Trivial Database support for caching purposes.
