from eclass/linux-mod.eclass: RDEPEND="virtual/modutils pcmcia? ( virtual/pcmcia )" maybe inherit linux-mod should be something like: use kqemu && inherit linux-mod
(In reply to comment #0) > maybe inherit linux-mod should be something like: > use kqemu && inherit linux-mod Not possible, the above construct breaks dependency caching. Besides, virtual/modutils is in /usr/portage/profiles/base and thus present on every Gentoo system (except maybe embedded), I can't see any dependency issue here.
I'm using mac os x (darwin) which doesn't have modutils (as far as I know), I could add it to package.provided as a workaround, but I support it shouldn't depend on it if it isn't used. A package split-up (qemu-user / qemu-kqemu) might be another solution.
Yup, me too. False depends is what is killing my embedded usage experiments (not this ebuild but generally).
qemu is already split: qemu-softmmu qemu-user I hardly find any use for qemu-softmmu on embedded systems, but I could agree that could be a pain for darwin (even if darwin should have its way to load kernel objects...)
A seperate kqemu ebuild is also nice for re-emerges after a kernel update. Please close this bug if you won't create a seperate package.
I'm about to commit a kqemu stand alone ebuild and qemu-0.8.0 that will solve the issue
