The ebuild also need not die() in pkg_pretend(). The common way of doing this is by setting REQUIRED_USE. Yes, it installs absolutely fine without USE=cpu_flags_x86_sse3. Why is that even in there?

Really it would probably be nicer to keep it in pkg_pretend and make it do a compiler check similar to tc-has-openmp (since this really isn't a place for use flags when a feature is forced to be enabled), but I'll move it to REQUIRED_USE for now. Anyway, closing as invalid since upstream really requires SSE3 support and you should set the proper set for CPU_FLAGS_X86 that your processor supports. Use something like app-portage/cpuinfo2cpuflags if you need help translating the cpuinfo to use flags since it's not a direct mapping as seen by pni -> sse3 support. Tim, thanks a lot for clarification. |
