 Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2003 1:44 am Post subject: emerge xfree results in nothing |
 |
|
been trying to get xfree merged the past two days. always fails.
after compilation, I do not find startx, nor xf86cfg, nor xf86config. it just appears the complete compilation did not yield anything.
i played around adding a host of USE settings in make.conf, though etcat -u xfree does not list them. that command does not even show USE settings like "X", "gtk" or "xv" ... as being used for xfree.......
I followed installation guide step by step and used standard linux-2.4.20-gentoo-r8 sources kernel...
any ideas??  |

that shows:
| Code: |
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3
|
more:
emerge -pv xfree shows:
| Code: |
[ebuild N ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r3 -3dfx +sse +mmx -3dnow +xml2 +truetype +nls -cjk +doc -ipv6 -debug -static +pam -sdk -gatos
|
^^ these USE settings do not correspond at all to what I have chosen and look very weird for xfree...  no?? |

I doubt this will fix the main problem but those are all of the default USE variables are you sure you uncommented the line in make.conf where you changed them.
what command are you using to emerge xfree and what ouput do you get? Does it say that the emerge was succeful? Emerging of xfree should take several hours depending on the system speed. About how long does yours take?
the command you should be using is(as root):

it has red lines mentioning
[M ] x11-base/xfree-4.1.0-r6 (0)
...
[M~ ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.13 (0)
[M~ ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.14 (0)
[M~ ] x11-base/xfree-4.3.99.15 (0)

had them on
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-03 -mcpu=pentium3 -funroll-loops -pipe" |
changed them to:
| Code: | | CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium3 -pipe" |
what do these do (i do not seem to find that answer in the docs...)
GRP install? <_< what is...
really don't know, this what I do: i have 2 live cd's (pIV builds, so can only start from stage 1). install like the doc tells me, use emerge sync to get latest sources or when I build (emerge APP) I always seem to get latest sources as well.
about "always get latest", even when I rebuild (the same package again), it regets the same source code time and again. which command do I use to tell gentoo that I want to get them once and store them my machine. (would save me precious bandwidth as im capped at 10Gb/m).
edit: btw thanks already scootersmk. |

just to let you know that I fixed it: reinstallation!
imho: it was the USE flags which really need to be set before you do anything else. I guess the tutorial should stress the importance of choosing these wisely at that moment. <_< |

CFLAGS="-02 -mcpu=pentium4 -pipe" |
