|
|
Hi Respected Community,
I was wondering if there is a clear and precise manual on how to install the latest version of Vbox(download it from Vbox website).
What are the exact dependencies?
Can emerge detect the dependencies of a given package?
If not is there any utility that does that?
Thanks a lot
Andreas |

alamahant,
ebuilds list both build time and run time depenencies.
If you find a dependency missing, that's a bug. _________________ Regards,

Ask Portage. Post the output of emerge --pretend --verbose '>=app-emulation/virtualbox-6'. |
