Hi,
After reading this:
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Steam
I have this: (is steam still in portage?)
| Code: | # emerge --ask @steam
emerge: There are no sets to satisfy 'steam'. The following sets exist:
changed-deps
downgrade
installed
live-rebuild
module-rebuild
preserved-rebuild
rebuilt-binaries
security
selected
system
unavailable
unavailable-binaries
world
x11-module-rebuild

That's the way to install Steam imho : it's working perfectly for me.

| Looks like you have permission problems, check the output. It cannot create some directories. |

Because creating directories manually does not fix permission problems. |

All permissions looks OK here.
Does anyone can use Steam on Gentoo ~amd64? |

I use Steam on ~amd64. I used the steam overlay: https://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay

I have done the manual installation, too, and it works like a charm.
Honestly, the "ebuild-way" only puts some (tiny!) stuff in central places, but users still have to install to their home folders anyway. Like on windows. Every user is on their own. Therefore I do not see any reason to use ebuilds with steam. It is just not worth the many hassles. And if your system is single-user only ...

How to run it? I cannot find any command like 'steam' after installing it from layman.
I've got:
| Code: | # layman -a steam
* Adding overlay...
* Overlay "steam" is not an official. Continue install? [y/n]: y
* Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman && /usr/bin/git clone git://github.com/anyc/steam-overlay.git /var/lib/layman/steam )
Cloning into '/var/lib/layman/steam'...
remote: Counting objects: 1435, done.
remote: Total 1435 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0)
Receiving objects: 100% (1435/1435), 291.16 KiB | 101.00 KiB/s, done.
Resolving deltas: 100% (605/605), done.
Checking connectivity... done.
* Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/steam && /usr/bin/git config user.name "layman" )
* Running Git... # ( cd /var/lib/layman/steam && /usr/bin/git config user.email "layman@localhost" )
* Successfully added overlay(s) steam.

Checking my system...
| Code: | dweezil@hdx-18 ~ $ equery belongs /usr/bin/steam
* Searching for /usr/bin/steam ...
games-util/steam-launcher-1.0.0.49 (/usr/bin/steam)
dweezil@hdx-18 ~ $ emerge games-util/steam-launcher -pv
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild R ] games-util/steam-launcher-1.0.0.49::steam-overlay USE="steamruntime" 0 KiB
Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 KiB |
the readme needs to be updated.

Many thanks! This did the job! SOLVED  
Another question: How you run steam on Optimus Laptops? I have downloaded Legend of Grimrock, and when I run it by 'optirun stem' when games starts, I have a blank screen, mouse pointer form the game, and freeze... When I started with 'primusrun steam' system says it do not suport Intel card (looks like nvidia doesn't work).
I have the same game bought direct from game developer and works perfectly as 'optirun grimrock' and 'primusrun' grimrock.
Do I have any options for Nvidia Optimus card inside steam software or should I do anything else in Gentoo? |

In the settings for your game you can set command line options.
right click on a game
-> Properties
-> Set Launch Options
-> Enter "primusrun %command%"
Done.

Still the same 
I have installed this:

Latest version available: 1.0.1-r1
Latest version installed: 1.0.1-r1
Size of files: 210 KiB

Maybe my primus is not 32bit?
| Quote: | | Note - Primus must be installed with 32-bit support because Steam for Linux (and most games downloaded from Steam) are 32-bit. |
https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=6316-GJKC-7437
| Code: | # equery u primus
[ Legend : U - final flag setting for installation]
[ : I - package is installed with flag ]
[ Colors : set, unset ]
* Found these USE flags for x11-misc/primus-9999:
U I
- - abi_x86_32 : 32-bit (x86) libraries |
Sorry - update!!!
This did the job!!
| Code: | | USE="abi_x86_32" emerge primus |
everything works fine now |

Tried both manual and overlay methods and they are working fine.
However, emul-linux-x86-opengl package is little outdated, would love to see more recent version, keeping up with unstable amd64.
Mesa version in stable amd64 and x86 is 10.0.4, unstable amd64 is 10.3.4, which I'm using, but Steam is using x86 mesa and I can't seem to find a way to obtain unstable emul-linux-x86-opengl, if there is one in the first place.
Maybe if I try to install x86 Gentoo in Vbox and then install x86 mesa in there, pick up the libs and put them in /usr/lib32, but I'm not sure if that's the way to do that.
Any help on that or some info ?
EDIT : actually I just found this, seems like exactly what I want :
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Multilib_System_without_emul-linux_Packages
I did everything from that guide apart from compile, I'll do that now and see what happens  |
