Bug 583354 – app-emulation/qemu: support USE=-python

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zac Medico 2016-05-18 00:09:52 UTC]

Current qemu ebuilds cannot be built with python disabled, since ${PYTHON_REQUIRED_USE} and python_setup assume that at least one python target must be enabled.

Created attachment 434572 [details, diff]
patch qemu-2.6.0.ebuild to support build with USE=-python

This patch makes it work for me.

Hmm, seems that USE=-python gives equivalent results.

python is required to compile, and upstream doesn't make this optional.  qemu has a bunch of scripts to generate trace/qapi/etc... files.  it isn't used at runtime or RDEPEND-ed afaict.

configure:
if ! has $python; then
  error_exit "Python not found. Use --python=/path/to/python"
