Allegro emerge failed

[stamasd]

I need to install the allegro library to work with an older piece of code. However allegro fails to emerge. I'm attaching the output of "emerge media-libs/allegro" as allegro.log, the output of "emerge --info '=media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0::media-kit'" as info.log and the output of "emerge -pqv '=media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0::media-kit'" as pqv.log

allegro.log info.log pqv.log

Download the allegro.opengl.fix.compilation.with.mesa.18.2.5.patch

# mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0
# cp  allegro.opengl.fix.compilation.with.mesa.18.2.5.patch /etc/portage/patches/media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0

# emerge -1av =media-libs/allegro-5.2.4.0

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Thanks for your answer. I'm not familiar with using custom patches with portage. Which part of the message you linked to is the actual patch? I see the output of 2 diff commands, neither of which is an actual patch. I don't know what format portage expects the patch to be in.

Thanks for the explanation. That worked.
