 |
|
Hi!
I'm using waimea and I'm wondering what I should do with the qt, gtk and gtk2 flags in the USE variable?
Is't qt specific to kde and gtk specific to gnome? But I still can't turn them off or otherwise I won't get any graphical frontends compiled for my apps. On the other hand, I don't want to compile things I don't need of course 
Thanks

QT and GTK are just toolkits. KDE uses QT, GNOME uses GTK. But an app can use either of those toolkits without being a KDE or GNOME app.
What I would suggest is putting USE="-gtk -gtk2 -qt -kde -gnome" in your /etc/make.conf. Then every time you find something you want to emerge, do:
| Code: | | emerge -vp amazing-thing |
That will show you what use variables that packaged and its dependencies can understand. If amazing-thing can use GTK, for example, and you decide you want GTK support in that app, you can:
| Code: | | USE="gtk someotheruseflag -allbadthings" emerge amazing-thing |
If an app requires one of those toolkits, it's going to get installed anyway. For example, you can "-gtk" all you want, but if you emerge gimp, you're going to get gtk.
