Created attachment 45419 [details, diff]
patch for ebuild to allow building w/o a c++ compiler

[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.

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