Hello,
I've used the wiki to install portage and system.
But even if I use gentoolkit-dev to change the gtk+ ebuild, it gives the following error:
emerge -pv gtk+
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "gtk+" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10 (masked by: package.mask, ~ppc keyword)
- x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r10 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
- x11-libs/gtk+-1.2.10-r11 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
- x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.8 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
- x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.6 (masked by: package.mask)
- x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.7 (masked by: package.mask, missing keyword)
For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.

I though using gentoolkit-dev would at least permit me to try and compile any package.

Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv gtk+


if you have a x86-computer

Thanks for trying, but that doesn't change the behaviour.

Hi Progman3K,


you seem to be up to similar things as I am.

The output you've given tells you some things:

- There are many different versions of gtk+, and all are masked.
- Some are masked by keywords, which you can make portage accept by putting an ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~keyword" (for example ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~ppc" when you're using portage for Mac OS X on a PowerPC based machine) before the emerge command, as TheX already indicated.
- All are also masked by the config file /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask. This usually means that you REALLY don't want to try out these packages, because they are not working. If you want to give it a shot anyway, you should create a file /etc/portage/package.unmask and add the package name in it (e.g. =x11-libs/gtk+-2.6.10 or simply x11-libs/gtk+). Then you should be able to emerge the package alright.

I've made the experience though, that once you try and emerge some of these masked packages, the emerging stops with a compiler error. I've tried transcode and vorbis-tools, but both to no avail. The packages leading up to the wanted packages never compile cleanly. I thought this was a compiler issue, so I changed the /usr/bin/cc and /usr/bin/gcc symlink to gcc-3.3, but it still doesn't work. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate them.


All The Best.

Thank you very much for the help, Nebukadnezar.
The situation HAS improved, but now I'm puzzled by something else;

emerge -pv gtk+

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies -
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=x11-libs/cairo-0.9.2" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- x11-libs/cairo-1.0.2 (masked by: ~ppc keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
!!! (dependency required by "x11-libs/gtk+-2.8.6" [ebuild])


The file /etc/portage/package.unmask now contains
x11-libs/cairo
x11-libs/gtk+


I can see the effect it has on gtk+, but why won't it let me compile cairo now?

Thanks again.

The problem with cairo is due to the package being masked by the ~ppc keyword, so you have to make portage accept it, either once for this merge (see above), or permanently by recording it in the /etc/portage/package.keywords file. See the emerge man page for the syntax
