Description Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-07-05 11:00:04 UTC
Build system of sys-devel/gdb-7.1 checks Python versions in the following order:
2.6, 2.5, 2.4
Comment 1 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-07-06 20:23:43 UTC
I would also recommend to add an option to `configure`, which would allow to override Python version.
Comment 2 Markus Peloquin 2010-07-13 05:27:31 UTC
It looks like it's fixed in gdb cvs:

I might try it later.

Yeah, I thought I'd let you guys know I have no idea how to deal with autotools patches, so...
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2010-09-11 16:53:21 UTC
gdb-7.2 should work fine with python-2.7
