 |
|
Hi there
It seems that I misunderstood something about emerge usage.
Let's say if I need to set custom ./configure options for some ebuild, I should do as following:
#export USE='--with-some-option=value'
But it doesn't work in my case...
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance

Remove the #
A # is a comment, anything on the line after it is ignored,
USE="....."
is the correct way to specify the flag.
A honest mistake  |

Ahh my oops, sorry 
Well you would normally issue the following
| Code: | | USE="-3dfx" emerge media-video/vlc |
To emege VLC withough 3dfx support ( because that usually breaks it ).
So try using the above as opposed to exporting USE="..." because I think portage re-reads USE from the file unless specified on the command line. |

| I'm not sure, but it looks like you're confusing Gentoo USE flags and BSD-style USE entries in Makefiles. Have a look at the USE manual and tell us if that answers your question. |

yeap. looks like i really mistaken what USE is made for :o(
Then what should i do to make for example, mailman ebuild compile with option --with-cgi-gid=mailman, or mod_php compile without mysql support?
see what I mean?
There ususally lots of options which need tuning in each ebuild...
there must be a way out, I just can't find it... :o)

Well all the configure options are actually processed in the ebuild files.
| Code: | | nano /usr/portage/<category>/<package>.ebuild |
But that is a little long winded for each package.... But I think that is all you can do for it... Somethings such as mysql do have USE variables that cause this to happen, but not all possible ./configure options. |

| Look into the protected directory of ebuilds aswell, so that you can keep your modified files safe from emerge sync -ing the machine. |

Hit me over the head with a blunt instrument if I'm completely off the rocker, but shouldn't | Code: | | CFLAGS="--what-is-your-wish-master" emerge jeannie |
do just that? |

It would if the CFLAGS are past to the ./configure script.
I am / was under the impression that they were not and hence did not work that way. |
