Is It Possible To Install BlueQuartz On Gentoo ?
BlueQuartz Is Based On The Opensource Cobalt Raq 550 OS.
I Would Prefer To Use This Over Webmin Due To It Being More Relavent To My Servers Needs. I Have Also Admired The Cobalt Raq For A While. And Have Previously Enjoyed Administrating Its Interface.
You Can Find The Project Here :
http://bluequartz.org
Any Advice /Tutorials Would Be More Than Welcome.
Thanks In Advance.

Moved from Networking & security, since this is a request for support for packages that aren't available yet.
Please don't capitalise every single word you write, that's very cumbersome to read. |

Hi OllieD
I have 2 cobalt raq3i's at here and the same question.
I have a 2.4 kernel friendly rom sofar i know is this the first thing you need for an other os.
Do you have gentoo running on you cobalt ??
the only information i can find till now is how to redhat,netbsd.
and no bluequartz for netbsd
I'm intrested in the BlueQuartz stuff and hope to get it working since the original redhat stuff is like a cheese with holes. |

I'm working on it. I have managed to compile most of cce with a patch from kenji something on the bluequartz list and some of my own tweaks. devel-tools also compile and with them installed the rest of cce should compile to since it now dies because it can not find those tools.
I will release some ebuilds soon hopefully.
If bluequartz really works on gentoo remains to be seen after its all installed. I will mainly care about getting the user management and vsites working since thats what we use most and the machine i am working on needs to go back to active soon.
Update:
UI coming along nicely and cce compiles completly. It will soon be time to start testing things and find all the tweaks which needs to be done for it to really work and not just look like it works
Update2:
Have created ebuilds for all parts of the ui now. The two main things that remain with them is that they all currently build devel-tools due to some relative path somewhere in the backbone makefiles which makes them look for devel-files in the wrong place and they all unpack the large tar.gz for all of bluequartz everytime and therefore patch all locales everytime which makes the build take alot longer.
They are also "unclean" for the filesystem since they install alot of things that comes from the system or should be in other places.
Update3:
More than half the modules build now but cced doesn't work due to a problem with cobalts g_hash_iter mod to glib |
