 Posted: Tue Nov 27, 2012 9:06 pm Post subject: Noobish Use flag question. |
 |
|
emerging a few things produces little error messages at the bottom:
| Code: | The following USE changes are necessary to proceed:
#required by sys-apps/busybox-1.20.2[static], required by @system, required by @world (argument)
>=sys-libs/libselinux-2.1.12-r1 static-libs |
Meanwhile, adding
| Code: | | =sys-libs/libselinux static-libs |
to package.use produces another error with env-update:
| Code: | | --- Invalid atom in /etc/portage/package.use: =sys-libs/libselinux |
So far, I've only run into this with packages and flags that seem somewhat useful, stuff that I had taken out of my make.conf for a oneshot install to break circular dependencies, like with mesa and X.
But this time, I have no idea what the use-flag "static-libs" does. It builds static libraries... and I don't know what that means for my system. If I put that flag into my make.conf, portage quits complaining, and *everything* is built as and using static libs. But... there has to be a downside to it, right? Otherwise, why would I be given that choice of dynamic or static libs?
If that is a problem, what can I do to work around it? |

get rid of the equals sign. It is only used for specifying the exact version, which you are not.
It also will not build everything as static. Only those with the flag. In practice, I don't think you would notice the difference. Package.use is probably a better policy though.

Zazzman,
If you want to use a comparision operator as you gave in | Code: | | =sys-libs/libselinux static-libs |
you must also give a version, as the message said. | Code: | | >=sys-libs/libselinux-2.1.12-r1 static-libs |
or there is nothing to compare against.
