[Description Victor Beffers 2010-12-31 17:24:37 UTC]

virtualbox fails to compile with python 3.1 while no problems when selecting python 2.7.
( I used eselect python list to view the current active version and eselect python set 1 to set it )

Reproducible: Always

1.simple, see description
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
either fail with an clear message (this package requiers python 2.6) or (preferred) compile with any version of python

build log of not succesfull compile (with python 3.1)

[Comment 6 Victor Beffers 2011-01-18 11:52:10 UTC]

Same problem with version 4.0.0-r1 !!!

[Comment 7 Victor Beffers 2011-01-18 11:57:12 UTC]

Solution ??
x11-apps/ccsm-0.8.4-r1 has the same bug.
In https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=316983 there's a patch that works..
I suppose it should be easy to convert for virtualbox

Alright guys, I worked on the problem but unfortunately the python.eclass which is needed to address this problem isn't ready for usage with EAPI-4 yet.
I added a fixed ebuild to poly-c overlay and as soon as the eclass is ready for EAPI-4 I will commit a fixed ebuild.

Don't you think it's an upstream issue? and if so, has anyone reported it?

[Comment 14 Dennis Schridde 2011-07-12 08:33:08 UTC]

Any news on it? The issue persists in app-emulation/virtualbox-4.0.10.

[Comment 15 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2011-07-12 09:06:25 UTC]

See comment #9

I'm still waiting for python.eclass becoming ready for EAPI-4
