That is correct but for building from git alone. The distribution tarballs (should) provide all the auto-generated files, similar to any other autotools project. As such one should not need any of python/mako/lex/etc but a plain compiler toolchain. Imho we should fix these in a way that, when the files are generated, all the non-compiler requirements are non-fatal. Although I cannot find a way to do that of the top of my head. At the end it would be nice to update the doc :-)</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
