changing "python2.5/Python.h" to "python2.6/Python.h"
fixes building with 2.6 obviously

[Comment 1 Patrick Lauer 2009-06-04 18:01:32 UTC]

Go fix your python install. Most likely an unclean upgrade from 2.5 to 2.6 ...

[Comment 2 Anton Romanov 2009-06-04 18:12:00 UTC]

what does implicit
#include <python2.5/Python.h>
has to do with python install?

[Comment 3 Anton Romanov 2009-06-05 10:07:10 UTC]

also this part from ebuild
	if use python; then
		if has_version ">=dev-lang/python-2.5"; then
			mkdir -p "${D}usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/"
			install libdistorm64.so "${D}usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/distorm.so"
		else
			mkdir -p "${D}usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/"
			install libdistorm64.so "${D}usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/distorm.o"
		fi
	fi

will not work for 2.6

Patrick, since you're the maintainer for distorm64, I'm going to reassign this to you.  If it helps, I can recreate the problem:

[Comment 5 Mike Auty (RETIRED) 2009-06-07 13:05:14 UTC]

Anton, please also provide the output to "emerge --info".

[Comment 6 Patrick Lauer 2009-06-07 13:18:32 UTC]

So, I've had a look at the package. Really stupid - on a py2.6-only install it accidentally doesn't fail, so that explains why I couldn't reproduce it initially. I think we'll have to patch the source to stop doing such stupid things, then clean up the ebuild... 

Sorry if I was a bit harsh, I blame the lack of caffeine ;)

[Comment 7 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2009-06-29 12:30:24 UTC]

Fixed.
I also fixed respecting of CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS.
