 Posted: Sun Oct 04, 2009 11:29 pm Post subject: [Solved]Circular dependencies & use flag clarification |
 |
|
Hi,
After using a bunch of other distributions I finally decided to try building my own gentoo system. During the install I edited my use flag list in /etc/make.conf. I pretty much went through the list and added whatever I thought I would want. Yesterday I got xorg-server installed but it said it needed svg, after adding svg to my use list I then got the circular dependency error. I spend some time on the irc channel and got xorg-server installed.
Now I'm just trying to figure out how to interpret the circular dependency error and how to really use the use flags. When I try to emerge -pv gnome I get the following.

* Note that circular dependencies can often be avoided by temporarily
* disabling USE flags that trigger optional dependencies.

As far as I've understood it, the -pv command let's me see the different packages that will be installed along with the one I want and what kind of flags that can be set along with them. How do I find which ones are conflicting or where the problem is?

Don't include the revision information in package.use. Just use gnome-base/gnome.
Try: | Code: | | USE="-mono" emerge -pv gnome |

Oh ok thx. That did a bunch, but how did you know what flag to get rid of? In the list do the flag in red mean that they are conflicting? I only added mono to my use line is to get beagle installed with gnome according to this webpage.

I looked at the USE flags you had enabled for gnome and the circular dependency errors. Mono stood out as the most likely offender.
After you get gnome emerged w/o the mono USE flag, you should be able to add it back and then run:
| Code: | | emerge --update --deep --with-bdeps=y --reinstall changed-use --tree --verbose world |
As for what the colors mean:

Mono is for dotnet stuff - if you want that | Code: | # quse -D mono
global:mono: Build Mono bindings to support dotnet type stuff
|
One good and easy way to enable the USE flags that you would need for Gnome is by enabling a desktop profile. To see what is available run | Code: | | eselect profile list |
Then if you want to set a profile run | Code: | | eselect profile set <number> |

How did you see that it might be the offender? How would I go about installing gnome now, or getting rid of the next circular dependency? |

I tried a bunch of USE... --oneshot --nodeps emerge ...
I finally got past the problem, and was able to emerge gnome. Was a bit of a hassle but at least I've got gnome installed. |

Moved from Installing Gentoo to Desktop Environments.
Not about getting gentoo installed, so moved here
