Opera ebuild problem on PPC

[CyboChimp]

I just recently installed 2.4.19 on my PowerMac. I've attempted to install Opera (static) but every attempt leaves me with an error saying:

Platform and OS was not recognized, aborting...
Please send output of uname -a to chrisw@opera.com

Prior to installing Gentoo I had an install of Yellow Dog and ran version 5 just fine. Version 5 has a lot of dependencies that I'd rather not install since 6 seems to be out. My uname -a returns the following:

Linux PowerTrip 2.4.19-r6 #2 Tue Oct 29 07:50:03 PST 2002 ppc 740/750 GNU/Linux

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.

Thanx,
CyboChimp

do a grep ppc on the install.sh from the tarball.
guess what, no ppc listed. that is the issue.

if you sed with the following options, it will install.

sed -e "s:i[3456]86:ppc:g"
sed -e "s:i\[3456\]86:ppc:g"

you can add it the opera-static ebuild like this:

rc_unpack() {

unpack ${A}
cd ${S}
sed -e "s:/etc:${D}/etc:g" \
-e "s:read install_config:install_config=yes:" \
-e "s:/usr/share/applnk:${D}/usr/share/applnk:g" \
-e "s:/usr/share/pixmaps:${D}/usr/share/pixmaps:g" \
-e "s:/usr/share/icons:${D}/usr/share/icons:g" \
-e "s:/etc/X11:${D}/etc/X11:g" \
-e "s:/usr/share/gnome:${D}/usr/share/gnome:g" \
-e "s:i[3456]86:ppc:g" \
-e "s:i\[3456\]86:ppc:g" \
< install.sh >install.sh.hacked || die
mv install.sh.hacked install.sh
chmod +x install.sh

}

oh, make sure you have the ppc compiled version of opera. unsure how opera has passed this one on us...

i found it like this still on the latest 6.1 ppc release from the file opera-6.10-20021029.2-shared-qt.ppc.tar.bz2

Hope this helps.

Thank you for the response cigaraficionado. I attempted your instructions on the ebuild that was previously synced, and it installed, but didn't run. My guess is that it was an x86 binary. I pulled the latest down from the opera FTP site, grepped it and found ppc to already be there. I ran it and it worked like a champ. There was definitely something wrong with the files that were available a couple days ago.

Thanks again.
