Description
The MythTV build makes use of gdb. Since gdb does not have to be installed the MythTV ebuild should have a dependency on it.

Then the build process should be designed better. I am currently trying to emerge MythTV and get plenty errors due to missing gdb. Maybe these errors are not the reason why the build eventually fails but how should I know?
See http://pastebin.com/PNev7Zww (it's partly german so look for “gdb: Kommando nicht gefunden”).

Oh, this pastebin is just the start of the build. I believe there are more such errors later on (build is running right now) but I am not sure about this.

| true” at the end of all these commands. So the missing gdb seems not to be responsible for my build problems :(. |
Of course this ticket can be closed again.

GDB is a debugger, for use debugging. If a user wants to help debug MythTV, they can install this on their own. MythTV does not use it directly, so there is no reason for us to pull it in.
