If it were just gtraceview a soft dependency would have been ok. > 2. bin86 & bcc & iasl - during firmware compilation The first two are used for vgabios and rombios only, I think. We should eventually have --{enable,disable}-rombios but for now this is also a hard dependency. iasl is used by tools/firmware/hvmloader/... that's a hard dependency. > 3. python-dev (from tools/python/xen/lowlevel/xc) We should eventually have --enable-python/--enable-xend etc but for now this is a hard dependency. > I am not sure if I was doing something wrong or if its the configure > script missing these dependency checks.
