 |
|
Well, i have been a gentoo user for years, and I love it. So when I got an x86 Mac I decided to give prefix portage on OSX a try.
WOW!
I had a couple issues while building the system which i resolved easily thanks to my regular Gentoo Linux experience.
First thing I tried was mplayer. I figured this would be a good first test since it uses video/sound. Well, I emerged it with no errors, and then...
$ mplayer /path/to/some/file
Wow, works Perfect!
So, since this forum is not very active, I am wondering, anyone else using portage on OSX? If so what kind of experiences are others having, i 'd like to hear it, because theres so much I want to try with this now that the base system is up and working.

In its current incarnation, the project has its limitations on OSX which make the project for OSX as such incomplete. Embraced by the Gentoo/Alt project these limitations are recognised and being worked on with the purpose of finding a satisfying solution in the long run.
Currently there is no official installer for Gentoo for Mac OS X.
