Hi all, trying to install picard I wasted a lot of time until somebody on the forum suggested that I reinstall python with "cxx" in USE. I did and afterwards I was able to install picard. See URL for details (picard wasn't able to be built because the setup.py wasn't able to find the compiler). Hence I suggest changing the ebuild so that it checks if python was installed with the cxx USE flag set. No need to make the users upset. I guess that this also happens with other software so getting rid of the cxx USE flag would be preferred (for python anyway). Kind regards Sebastian
Strange, cxx is enabled by default in Python. Picard is a PyQt app, so you already have Qt and a proper C++ compiler... I wonder how your system doesn't have USE="cxx". Anyway, added a check to picard. FYI, next python versions won't have the cxx USE flag. And for your own safety, please, don't disable cxx. Thanks for reporting.
Hi Santiago, thanks! I have USE="-* ..." in make.conf, that's why. Kind regards Sebastian
