Comment 2 Peter S. Mazinger 2004-12-07 01:56:25 UTC

not added to the nocxx tracker bug, libcap is not part of emerge system

With this patch enabled.
sys-libs/libcap-1.10-r4  -debug -nocxx +pic +python -static
The python does not appear to be getting built at all.
I think this is the problem.
-	if use python ; then
+	if !use nocxx && use python ; then

Also with and without the patch and my /usr/bin/g++ in and out of the way I can't see where any cxx is getting used.. clue me in please.

Comment 4 Peter S. Mazinger 2004-12-07 23:34:24 UTC

not libcap is the problem, swig is not allowed to be pulled in, because the
building the modules in swig need c++
