You're right. I'd assumed that if you were disabling libtraceevent
then you'd also disable python. To fix the issue above you can do:
--- a/tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
+++ b/tools/perf/util/python-ext-sources
@@ -30,7 +30,6 @@ util/rblist.c
util/counts.c
util/print_binary.c
util/strlist.c
-util/trace-event.c
../lib/rbtree.c
util/string.c
util/symbol_fprintf.c
but this needs making conditional (possibly in setup.py) on whether
libtraceevent is present or not.
