Description rick vernam 2009-12-29 14:43:34 UTC

VirtualBox OSE 3.1.0 and 3.1.2 have configure flags to disable xpcom.  There should be a use flag in Gentoo to control that configure flag.
This is useful becuase with xpcom enabled, virtualbox-ose will fail to build if Qt4 headers and libraries are not found on the system.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.set virtualbox-ose use USE flags headless -qt4
2.build virtualbox-ose on a machine without Qt4
3.

Actual Results:  
build fails (see build.log)

Expected Results:  
build succeeds.

virtualbox-ose-3.1.0 build.log

While not discernible from the build.log, the use flags are "additions headless vboxwebsrv -alsa -hal -opengl -pulseaudio -python -qt4 -sdk"
