Bugzilla Bug 225109

If only Python 2.5 is installed blender build will fail with a Python.h not
found message. Installing Python 2.4 (as well) solves the issue. Should work
with with 2.5 only.

Reproducible: Always

Your emerge --info, please.

Thank you.

I'm sure I've seen this before, but it sure isn't bug #152700.

@Luca: what about this? is it a Python 2.5 blocker?

should be a scons issue, I'll check it by monday (now I'm around Italy and I'm
not always on link)

the latest blender builds correctly on python-2.5 only system

Looking at the dependencies, it doesn't look like we can get a new blender
stable any time soon, and current stable will be broken when python 2.5 is
stabilized.

Probably you can add a dep on =dev-lang/python-2.4* to
media-gfx/blender-2.43-r2 and be done with it.

.46 works with the old ffmpeg so it can go stable
.46-r1 works with the newest ffmpeg and it will go ~ once we have everything
sorted out (real soon TM) so hopefully blender won't be in the way

+  25 Jun 2008; Markus Meier <maekke@gentoo.org> blender-2.43-r2.ebuild:
+  does not build with python-2.5, so DEPEND on 2.4, bug #225109

fixed for the moment. I'd still like to see a newer blender version to get
stable some time... =)
