Posted: Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:43 pm Post subject: Where, exactly, in make.conf does CPU_FLAGS_X86 belong? |
|

New to Gentoo. So I looked over news items after succeeding in getting a booting system. News item number 10 discusses a script for generating output that goes under the new flag CPU_FLAGS_X86=. Though the news item says nothing about where that CPU_FLAGS_X86= entry should go, it seems to me a safe inference that it belongs in /etc/portage/make.conf. Additionally, however, there is no directive about where in make.conf that line should go. So I need to ask for clarification here: is CPU_FLAGS_X86= supposed to be a separate item on a new line within that file, as shown at http://pisarenko.net/files/80211ac/make.conf ? Or does it go under USE= or in some other spot within that file? Clarifications wil be appreciated. |

There are no certain spots for that - you can put it wherever you like inside make.conf, as long as you set the variable correctly.
In other words, your make.conf is correct. |

jamtat,
make.conf sets the environment for emerge.
Its another environment varable. The order of entries in make.conf is not relevant to the meaning it conveys.
It can go anywhere. _________________ Regards,

Thanks for the clarifications, genstorm and NeddySeagoon. I thiink my only other question related to this is whether, if under USE=, there are some of the same flags that have been output by the Python program as belonging under CPU_FLAGS_X86=, those entries under USE= need to be removed? |

They won't have an effect any longer under USE, so they should be deleted, but wouldn't do any harm. |
