 Posted: Fri Feb 17, 2006 5:08 pm Post subject: make.conf question.... |
 |
|
ok hopefully another fairly simple question, does the make.conf file effect just the building of the kernel or does it also effect every package i emerge after the system is up and running...
sorry if this is stupid i've tried checking thought the faq's and google but just can't seem to find the info i am looking for...
the reason i ask is i got my sgi o2 booting by using geoman's kernel so do i still need to configure the make.conf file so that i gets the best out of his system when i emerges anything new on the machine... or does it simply just effect the building of the kernel?
many thanks

| The make.conf file only affects built packages, not the kernel, that is. If you want to break your kernel you need to edit the Makefile in /usr/src/linux. |

The USE= variable will have an influence on the kernel (namely if you enable USEFLAGS such as ip27, ip28, ip30 and cobalt). These USE flags simply apply particular patchsets to enable support for a particular system.
Their primary influence though, is on packages you merge following the installation of the base system. So configuring make.conf is still a very good idea, unless you don't mind using the profile default USE flags and/or Gentoo's default mirrors. 
I personally like to point make.conf to my own local mirrors, which in turn are pointed at Gentoo's Australian mirrors (for obvious reasons) -- but this is entirely up to you, the user.

ok should this be fine for my SGI O2 R5000 box?
its just i don't want to kill it after just getting it installed?
also if they are set wrong i'd like to know know before getting to the point where i'm trying to emerge some apps and then finding out its the make.conf thats nuked the machine...
| Code: | these flags were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage
please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more deailed example
CFLAGS="-O2" -mips4 -mabi=32"
CHOST="mips-unkown-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="$(CFLAGS)"
config_protect="-*"

That should be fine... the USE= variable will be assumed from your system's profile. emerge info will tell you what settings are in effect:

Yep... and if you look at the blob starting with USE=, those are the USE flags set by your profile, those are the system defaults which you can override in make.conf. Disabled USE flags are ommitted.
