 |
|
Hello,
I am trying to install a third party ebuild called "Hardware4linux" ... I have thus far: | Code: |
1. Added PORTAGE_DIR="/usr/local/poratge" in /etc/make.conf
2. Created a directory /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/hardware4linux
3. Downloaded then added the ebuild (hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild) to the directory ... /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/hardware4linux
4. Added the line "sys-aps/hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild" to /etc/portage/package.keywords
5. Then perform emerge hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild digest |
After step 5 ... I then get the following error: | Code: |
Calculating dependencies /
!!! /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild is not in a valid portage tree hierarchy or does not exist
|
Any suggestions??
Thanks

NiceGuy,
Your path | Code: | | /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild |
has a directoy missing.
| Code: | | /usr/local/portage/sys-apps/hwreport/hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild |
should work

It should be PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" in make.conf, not PORTAGE_DIR (and I presume "poratge" was just a typo?).

Yeah. hardware4linux... for hwlinux ebuild.
the path to the ebuild must be as follows ${...}/cate-gory/${name}/${name}-${version}.ebuild
where ${...} should be (but it's not necessary) int PORTDIR_OVERLAY. |

Hello Everyone,
I just recently changed the directory name from | Code: |
/usr/local/portage/sys-aps/hardware4linux/hwreport0.9.1.ebuild ... to ... /usr/local/portage/sys-aps/hwreport/hwreport0.9.1.ebuild |
And additionally My step 5 appears to incorrect ... should be: | Code: |
ebuild hwreport09.1.ebuild digest ... not .. emerge hwreport-0.9.1.ebuild digest |
Regardless, made both changes and have successfully emerged the hwreport utility
Thanks to all for your speedy responses. |
