[Qemu-devel] Git Master does not allow ./configure => python error

[Qemu-devel] Git Master does not allow ./configure => python error

[Erik Rull]

Hi all,

the current git master of qemu fails on configure: (I did a fresh clone to
prevent any side effects)

erik@debian:~/tmp/qemu-test/qemu$ ./configure --prefix=
--target-list=x86_64-softmmu --disable-vnc-png --disable-vnc-jpeg
--disable-vnc-tls --disable-vnc-sasl  --audio-drv-list= --enable-sdl
--disable-xen --disable-brlapi --disable-bluez --disable-curl
--disable-guest-agent --disable-spice
Unknown option: -B
usage: python [option] ... [-c cmd | -m mod | file | -] [arg] ...
Try `python -h' for more information.

ERROR: Cannot use 'python -B', Python 2.4 or later is required.
       Note that Python 3 or later is not yet supported.
       Use --python=/path/to/python to specify a supported Python.


And interesting:
erik@debian:~/tmp/qemu-test/qemu$ python --version
Python 2.5

There seems to be something really odd. Thanks for having a look at it.

Best regards,

Erik

Thanks. Sorry for the duplicate thread topic. I will check it as soon as it is
available in GIT.

Best regards,
