Description Karl-Johan Karlsson 2006-02-03 06:02:23 UTC 
app-emulation/bochs can be built with either an internal debugger or a GDB stub. The USE flag "debugger" currently enables or disables the internal debugger, but the GDB stub is never built. It should be, with USE="-debugger".

*** Bug 135679 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Luca Barbato gentoo-dev 2006-06-11 14:01:47 UTC 
Makes sense. Committed, thanks
Comment 3 David Klempner 2006-06-19 22:32:46 UTC 
This fix isn't sufficient for -debugger; --disable-smp is also necessary, per http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135679
Comment 4 Harald van Dijk (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-06-21 15:30:07 UTC 
Reopening because as noted, bochs now fails to build with USE=-debugger

Comment 7 Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2007-09-04 00:37:40 UTC 
this is "fixed" for >=app-emulation/bochs-2.2.6 by never enabling SMP as shown in the Changelog :

  26 Nov 2006; Luca Barbato <lu_zero@gentoo.org> bochs-2.2.6.ebuild:
  remove smp since it breaks gdb stub

--enable-smp has been validated to work in amd64 when USE="debugger" though
Comment 8 Carlo Marcelo Arenas Belon 2007-09-18 14:42:00 UTC 
starting with >=app-emulation/bochs-2.3.5 for USE="-debugger" smp is now unconditionally disabled to prevent a build failure as suggested here.

there is no way yet to enable smp for the ebuild (unless it is done only for USE="debugger") but that is arguably a different bug as there is currently no way to break the build unless the ebuild is modified, and modified in the wrong place ;)
Comment 9 Alex Busenius 2009-04-28 17:41:55 UTC 
The bug is still present in app-emulation/bochs-2.3.7

I've modified the ebuild so that all supported combinations of SMP, GDB stub and internal debugger can be selected using the flags smp, gdbstub and debugger.
It disables smp and shows a warning with USE="smp gdbstub" and aborts with an error message if USE="gdbstub debugger" is used.
This ebuild also fixes the QA warning from #258141.

Comment 11 Pacho Ramos gentoo-dev 2016-05-28 08:14:35 UTC 
please retry with 2.6.8, it looks to handle debugger again
