[SOLVED]Minimum deps for installing nvidia-drivers in chroot

[ennui]

Hello,

I am attempting to setup a 32-bit chroot on my 64-bit Gentoo install (profile: hardened/linux/amd64/no-multilib).

Does anyone know which dependencies are required to install the 32-bit nvidia-drivers into the chroot? I've already added my hardened-sources-3.18.9 kernel to the chroot's /etc/portage/profile/package.provided file (and performed a bind mount to my kernel directory outside the chroot), but I still see a lot of (probably unneeded) dependencies for installing nvidia-drivers inside the chroot. I'd like to trim this to the bare minimum for the sake of cleanliness, maintenance, etc.

Hello,

That's because of USE flags.

Thanks wjn,

I was able to get closer to where I want to be using USE flags. By trimming the acpi and tools USE flags on the nvidia-drivers package, I was able to get the list of packages down considerably. However, x11-base/xorg-server-1.16.4 was still listed in the set of dependencies and pulling in other unnecessary packages. By adding the xorg-server package to my package.provided file, I was able to trim the list to a much more reasonable length of:

I ended up having to remove hardened-sources from my package.provided and unbind the kernel sources from outside the chroot. Instead, I performed a separate install and make on hardened-sources within the chroot. I did this because I experienced an issue with the bitness of the constify_plugin.so plugin in my linux source tree bound in from the outer environment (which is 64-bit). I was able to use the same kernel config as outside the chroot with the exception of CONFIG_64BIT.

However, eliminating xorg-server as a dependency by way of package.provided enabled nvidia-drivers to build and install without issue. I'm in process to determine if Steam and associated games can still function in this minimal configuration.
