• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description BRULE Herman 2016-01-04 16:34:37 UTC]

Hello,

sys-firmware/seabios-1.8.2 not work on arm, for march=i386, then I can't install qemu targeting x86_64. Naybe here you need sys-firmware/seabios-bin?

Do you have USE="-binary" set? You would need an x86 cross-compiler to build this from source.

[Comment 2 BRULE Herman 2016-01-04 17:06:30 UTC]

You can enable it by default on !x86?

[Comment 3 Mike Gilbert 2016-01-04 17:09:12 UTC]

> You can enable it by default on !x86?

Can you answer my question?

It is currently enabled by default on all archs via IUSE.

IUSE="+binary debug +seavgabios"

I suspect you are either setting USE="-*" or USE="-binary" in make.conf.

I suppose we could work around this using package.use.force.

[Comment 4 Mike Gilbert 2016-01-04 17:10:31 UTC]

There's also a REQUIRED_USE check which does not include arm due to lack of arm keywords.

REQUIRED_USE="debug? ( !binary )
    ppc? ( binary )
    ppc64? ( binary )"

rewriting bug summary since, as noted, this makes no sense.  we haven't keyworded this package for arm yet.

for future reference, we don't generally care about reports like "pkg foo doesn't work on $ARCH" when that package hasn't even been keyworded for $ARCH.  if you want to try and port a package to a new $ARCH, then you should be requesting that.

I think you meant to do something like this, since the deps are are needed for amd64 OR x86.
