When I try to build app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3, I get the following error message: * If you have an AMD CPU, you must enable KVM_AMD in your kernel configuration. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. * Failure to do so may cause unexpected problems. * Once you have satisfied these options, please try merging * this package again. * ERROR: app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3 failed (pretend phase): * Incorrect kernel configuration options * * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 85: Called pkg_pretend * qemu-kvm-1.0-r3.ebuild, line 163: Called check_extra_config * linux-info.eclass, line 783: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * die "Incorrect kernel configuration options" * * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3', * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3'. * The complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3/temp/die.env'. * S: '/var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/qemu-kvm-1.0-r3/work/qemu-kvm-1.0' Unfortunately, I find that /var/tmp/portage is empty after this, which suggests that the temporary build files are either in another place, or the package is erroneously cleaning up after itself despite the failure. Also, this is the first time I've ever gotten this error. The KVM kernel module gets built, and it's configured to be loaded on boot.

It's failing during the pre-build checks, before anything really happens. You need to enable the proper kernel options. That said, these checks have now been changed (~17 hrs ago) to just WARN instead of FAIL when not set: 08 Mar 2012; Doug Goldstein <cardoe@gentoo.org> qemu-kvm-1.0-r3.ebuild: Only warn about the lack of kvm-amd or kvm-intel on amd64 and x86.
There is no build log because the phase pkg_pretend() fails, which is run before any work is done in PORTAGE_TMPDIR. I think it's down to these lines: ERROR_KVM_AMD="If you have an AMD CPU, you must enable KVM_AMD in" ERROR_KVM_AMD+=" your kernel configuration." ERROR_KVM_INTEL="If you have an Intel CPU, you must enable" ERROR_KVM_INTEL+=" KVM_INTEL in your kernel configuration." Why should these be errors? It should be entirely possible to enable KWM_AMD *or* KVM_INTEL, and not both. Should probably be WARNING_* in both cases?

The variable is always ERROR_. You just prefix in the list of values to ~ it will just warn. Which is exactly how it works and the first comment confirms this. The bug was opened with an old rsync.
(In reply to comment #3) > > Should probably be WARNING_* in both cases? > > You aren't understanding how the eclass works. The variable is always > ERROR_. You just prefix in the list of values to ~ it will just warn. I still got this reported as an error, although a non-fatal one. And Jer is correct about the solution. Have a look at linux-info.eclass. CVS rev 1.91 as in http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/linux-info.eclass?revision=1.91&view=markup is current. Line 757 will change the report_func from eerror to ewarn only if the variables are called WARNING_* instead of ERROR_*, in addition to the variable being prefixed by ~. CONFIG_CHECK="CFG" with ERROR_CFG="foo" is a hard error, will die. CONFIG_CHECK="~CFG" with ERROR_CFG="foo" is a "soft error", will build but still report the issue using eerror, i.e. something that is actually broken. CONFIG_CHECK="~CFG" with WARNING_CFG="foo" is a warning, so we want this. This fact isn't documented anywhere. I've just filed bug #409207 to address that. But even without documentation, you surely want to report warnings only, i.e. call ewarn instead of eerror, by changing the variable names.
