 |

I'm trying to install a package that requires X11, the only problem is I don't know how to tell portage that I have it installed. Any ideas?

According to the emerge man pages this is exactly what the inject option is for | Quote: | | Injecting a package inserts a 'stub' for that package so that Portage thinks that it is installed. |
so | Quote: | | emerge inject [package its trying to install] |
will prevent it from emergeing X11.
But as I'm not a mac user no idea if the OS X portage supports it. Hope I've been of some help.

hmm I tried that but I kept gettin an error. I made a directory called "apple-xfree" in /usr/portage/x11-base . I then made a fake ebuild file called x11-1.0.ebuild and just put "installed" in the body of the text of the file. When I tried | Code: | | emerge inject x11-base/apple-xfree |
I get an error that a specific cat-pkg must be used. I tried it also with x11-base/apple-xfree/x11-1.0 and apple-xfree/x11-1.0 . It DID work when I tried | Code: | | emerge inject apple-xfree/x11-1.0. |
but I don't know why that one worked and the other didn't

Don't know why the first didn't work but maybe is the filenames anyway...
maybe i didn't make myself clear type | Quote: | | emerge -p [the program you want to install] |
then enter | Quote: | | emerge inject [the xserver the previous command is trying to install] |
This should fool portage into thinking its already installed it.

| With the new version of portage (that MacOSX uses) the inject keyword is depreciated. If you have recently emerge sync'd you should already have xfree provided in your profile. You may need to upgrade your portage version as well. |

beergutxl, I know what you meant, the command simply didn't work. I'm emerge syncing right now, hopefully that will clear this up. Ill let you know how it goes.

In gentoo osx' portage "emerge --inject" is depreceated.
instead is there a file /etc/portage/profile/package.provided
there u can put in already install software.
e.g.
| Code: | echo "x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7" >> /etc/portage/packages.provided
|
my one (I've xcode 1.5 installed):
| Code: | cat /etc/portage/profile/packages.provided
app-shells/bash-2.05b-r2
dev-libs/libxml2-2.6.7
sys-devel/libperl-5.8.1
dev-lang/perl-5.8.1
sys-devel/autoconf-2.59
sys-devel/m4-1.4
sys-apps/coreutils-0.0.0
sys-devel/automake-1.6.3

i do not have package.provided in /etc/portage.
i do not have /etc/portage!
i made
| Code: |
mkdir /etc/portage
touch /etc/portage/packages.provided
echo "x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7" >> /etc/portage/packages.provided
-bash: /etc/portage/packages.provided: Permission denied
|
but i can't write on this file!
i tried also with nano/pico.
do you have some ideas about?

ok, sorry, i cannot write due to permissions on file.
i edited the file inserting
| Code: | | x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7 |
but
| Code: | emerge -pv aterm
Calculating dependencies \
emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "x11-base/apple-xfree".
|
i have to insert also x11-base/apple-xfree?
i tried this, but it no works!
bye...

|

Did you run: /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap-macos.sh ? This script will inject an X package so that you can use apple's X11 user and developer packages. In order for X-dependent packages to compile you need the developer X11 package, which is an extra package in the Xcode package. If you want to run X-dependent applications then you probably need to install the X11 user package (http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/x11/download/), or use Fink.
If bootstrap-macos.sh does not work then you will want to: emerge --inject x11-base/apple-xfree-4.3
The versions of emerge that I have used on OS X have pretty much ignored the package.provided files, which is probably why bootstrap-macos.sh injects all of the files in /etc/make.profile/package.provided. |

thanks Danie!
i have already bootstrapped the system and i have already installed X11 (i use with fink a lot of software).
| Code: | emerge --inject x11-base/apple-xfree-4.3
|
ok this command have injected the package, but aterm compile fails.
when i try to update portage, the python-fchksum fails.
| Code: | gcc -Wl,-F. -Wl,-F. -bundle -framework Python -fast -mcpu=7450 -pipe build/temp.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/fchksum.o build/temp.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/md5.o build/temp.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/cksum.o build/temp.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/sum.o -lz -o build/lib.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/fchksum.so
ld: build/temp.darwin-7.5.0-Power_Macintosh-2.3/fchksum.o has local relocation entries in non-writable section (__TEXT,__text)
error: command 'gcc' failed with exit status 1
!!! ERROR: dev-python/python-fchksum-1.7.1 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 20, Exitcode 1
|
any ideas?
bye DaVe

I've been getting the same python-fchksum error as you for some time now. (I've been waiting, hoping it would go away with an update.) I noticed today that it also comes up with jpeg-6b-r3.
Should these "relocation" errors be reported as bugs, or is there something we users need to do about them?
Thanks,
Ben |
