Description Marcin Kowalski 2017-10-15 18:46:58 UTC

I am observing the following when trying to rebuild spidermonkey:0 

---------------------------------------------

checking that static assertion macros used in autoconf tests work... yes
checking for 64-bit OS... yes
checking for Python version >= 2.5 but not 3.x... configure: error: Python 2.5 or higher (but not Python 3.x) is required.

Comment 2 Marcin Kowalski 2017-10-15 18:48:12 UTC

installing libdnet partially helps (removes error about missing -ldnet, but there is still related error message about -ldnet_stub). not sure if those are fatal errors, though.

Add emerge --info, the ebuild specifically requests python-2.7 already.

    dev-lang/spidermonkey: Do not test for dnet_ntoa in libdnet
    
    It's checking for the wrong libdnet, creating a false dependency.
