 |
|
Hi there,
working with gentoo now for 1 week (actually compiling one week as its a slow pc) and it rocks (from that point at least where I had my Gnome up and running) been with SuSE before and never had a satisfying desktop. And all this yast stuff lead me into not knowing anything. Now I found that eclipse is in the portage tree and I just don't know which one to take. I don't want the motif version I had that and thats the main reason why I switched. Pleeeeaaase someone tells me which version I schould emerge to have it compiled with gtk(2?). And for future emerging, where do I find out such things?

mmartin:
Hopefully, by the time you read this, all you will have to do is to emerge sync and get the latest eclipse M5 ebuilds.
Until that happy day, read on...
I modified the eclipse ebuilds to get the most recent M5 (milestone 5) releases, as they fix a nasty bug in Eclipse with GTK2.2 -- see https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7634 and https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=29586
I went to the bug URL and downloaded the ebuilds for _pre5 that are attachments to the bug.
eclipse-platform-bin-2.1_pre5.ebuild
eclipse-jdt-bin-2.1_pre5.ebuild
I placed these in my "portage overlay" directories; see the /etc/make.conf file and uncomment the line that contains
| Code: |
PORTDIR_OVERLAY=/usr/local/portage
|
Then place the ebuilds that you downloaded from the bug # 7634 attachment into appropriate directories:
| Code: |
# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin
# mv <downloaded-platform-ebuild> !$/eclipse-platform-bin-2.1_pre5.ebuild
# mkdir -p /usr/local/portage/dev-util/eclipse/eclipse-jdt-bin
# mv <downloaded-jdt-ebuild> !$/eclipse-jdt-bin-2.1_pre5.ebuild
|
Then try this:
| Code: |
# USE="gtk2" emerge -pu eclipse-jdt-bin
|
The -p means to "pretend" to perform the emerge, and the -u means to perform any required "updates".
When I do this, it tells me it will need GTK
| Code: |
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild N ] x11-libs/pango-1.2.1
[ebuild N ] dev-libs/atk-1.2.2
[ebuild U ] x11-libs/gtk+-2.2.1 [1.2.10-r9]
[ebuild N ] dev-util/eclipse-platform-bin-2.1_pre5
[ebuild N ] dev-util/eclipse-jdt-bin-2.1_pre5
|
If all this looks good, then perform the actual ebuild with the same exact command without the "-p" flag:
| Code: |
# USE="gtk2" emerge -u eclipse-jdt-bin
|
Sorry if this is too explicit... but I hope that others can benefit from step-by-step instructions. Thanks to the eclipse team for a great IDE, and to the folks who are following the M4 and M5 releases via the Gento bug: Jeffrey Yasskin, Per Cederberg, Matthew Kennedy, Pat Double, and Dana Oredson. |

This is more than I hoped to get as an answer, killing a bug before even knowing about it is always good
