app-text/barcode doesn't provide the lib needed, see below.
///
I tried this:
# echo app-office/glabels barcode -eds > /etc/portage/package.use/glabels
# emerge -aqv app-office/glabels
[ebuild R ] app-office/glabels-3.4.1 USE="barcode -eds"
Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No] y
>>> Verifying ebuild manifests
>>> Emerging (1 of 1) app-office/glabels-3.4.1::gentoo
>>> Jobs: 0 of 1 complete, 1 running Load avg: 1.41, 0.88, 0.52^C
I.e. I killed the build process so I could look at the tempdir contents
(why doesn't "FEATURES=noclean emerge -aqv app-office/glabels" work ?).
Looking at (PORTAGE_TMPDIR def. is /var/tmp)

So, glabels tries to use barcode, but there is no lib found.
Looking at /var/db/pkg/app-text/barcode-0.99/CONTENTS, I see that
barcode doesn't provide a lib.
$ git clone https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/barcode.git
$ cd barcode
$ cat library.c
...
struct Barcode_Item *Barcode_Create(char *text)
{
struct Barcode_Item *bc;
bc = malloc(sizeof(*bc));
if (!bc) return NULL;
memset(bc, 0, sizeof(*bc));
bc->ascii = strdup(text);
bc->margin = BARCODE_DEFAULT_MARGIN; /* default margin */
return bc;
}
...
So Barcode_Create() exists, but barcode doesn't build the needed
library.
