Good afternoon everyone. I am looking for a good editor for a project that involves writing code in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. I think that Brackets, Atom and Aptana are very good. Since I am using Gentoo, I would like to compile from source the packages I use.

I tried compiling Brackets from source, however it requires NodeJS and apparently there is no way to install it without removing the «bindist» flag.

So, I switched to app-editors/atom, however, after more than two hours spent compiling dev-util/electron, it fails. As far as I have understood, it fails because it does not find NodeJS, even if it is not in the dependencies.

Here is the log:
Code:

So, I have some questions:

  • Is there any alternative editor that is maybe supported (even unofficially) by Gentoo?
  • How do you install NodeJS without disabling «bindist» (which pulls in proprietary things which I do not want to use)?
  • Is the above fail actually caused by the absence of NodeJS?

I am using atom. Today I tried updating my system and I get the same error as you compiling electron.

Try building electron-1.3.13-r1 and atom-1.18.0 instead of the latest version.

If you are using ccache, try disabling ccache and emerging the newer versions of electron and atom.

I am doing this, if it doesn't work I'll file a bug report.

Please provide the output that led you to this statement.

That seems rather excessive for a text editor. According to genlop, my system builds vim + vim-core in ~70 seconds (not minutes, seconds).

There are many editors. As above, I strongly suggest using either Vim or Emacs. Both are quite capable and have good communities.

What proprietary packages does it pull in? That sounds like a misuse of the bindist flag. The flag is supposed to control whether to include content that cannot be redistributed.

Just for the sake of testing, I was finally able to install Atom, however I had to remove the bindist flag as well as to install net-libs/nodejs. Vim is my favourite editor (along with Gvim), however I am not so sre it supports auto-completion in an easy way, that is, without having to hit additional buttons. I would really like to use Vim to write code as well, could you suggest or point me towards a good guide that explains how to properly set up vim in order to have full HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP support? Thank you.

I was not able to install NodeJS without removing bindist: if I let that flag enabled, portage goes into an infinite loop in which it pulls in older and newer versions of openssl with bindist both enabled and disabled, causing serious problems since Portage thinks bindist is both needed and that it must be removed at the same time.

Concerning compile time for atom, the package itself is compiled in about 3 minutes, as you can see here:
Code:
sudo genlop -t atom
 * app-editors/atom

     Sat Oct  7 12:46:47 2017 >>> app-editors/atom-1.20.1
       merge time: 3 minutes and 18 seconds.

However, electron takes about two hours in order to be compiled, I cannot provide you with a genlop proof since I suspended while compiling and genlop shows me it takes about 13 hours :D By the way, for me vim + vim-core is compiled in about 50 seconds:
Code:
sudo genlop -t vim vim-core
 * app-editors/vim

     Wed Sep 27 22:18:45 2017 >>> app-editors/vim-8.0.0386
       merge time: 29 seconds.

 * app-editors/vim-core

     Wed Sep 27 22:18:16 2017 >>> app-editors/vim-core-8.0.0386
       merge time: 18 seconds.

alogim,

bindist should be set system wide, not package by package.

Unless you intend to distribute binaries of the packages you build, set -bindist in make.conf.
It bindist removes branding from firefox and thunderbird and prevents possibly patented code being included in some builds.

Ok, the bug is in the ebuild - it should have a dependency on node.js

Just emerge node and you will be able to emerge the latest version of electron.

The point is, if I do not manually remove bindist from my make.conf file, Portage removes it only from package openssl (by adding an entry in the package.use directory in which it says to build openssl with -bindist.
Code:

sudo emerge --ask nodejs                                 

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild  N     ] net-libs/http-parser-2.6.2  USE="-static-libs" ABI_X86="(64) -32 (-x32)"

# required by net-libs/nodejs-6.9.4::gentoo
# required by nodejs (argument)

Then, if I run etc-update, modify the file inside package.use as suggested and then rerun the above command, I get this:
Code:

sudo emerge --ask nodejs

    (and 4 more with the same problems)

NOTE: Use the '--verbose-conflicts' option to display parents omitted above

It may be possible to solve this problem by using package.mask to
prevent one of those packages from being selected. However, it is also
possible that conflicting dependencies exist such that they are
impossible to satisfy simultaneously.  If such a conflict exists in
the dependencies of two different packages, then those packages can
not be installed simultaneously.

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man
page or refer to the Gentoo Handbook.


The following keyword changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.accept_keywords" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-libs/libevent-2.1.8::gentoo[ssl]
# required by net-p2p/transmission-2.92-r2::gentoo
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
=dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0f ~amd64

The following mask changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.unmask" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by dev-libs/libevent-2.1.8::gentoo[ssl]
# required by net-p2p/transmission-2.92-r2::gentoo
# required by @selected
# required by @world (argument)
# /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Lars Wendler <polynomial-c@gentoo.org> (26 Aug 2016)
# Masked while being tested and reverse deps aren't fully compatible
=dev-libs/openssl-1.1.0f

NOTE: The --autounmask-keep-masks option will prevent emerge
      from creating package.unmask or ** keyword changes.


It basically tries to pull in a newer version of the package, openssl-1.1.0f, which is currently masked. This in turn causes failures while rebuilding the affected packages, so it really is an infinite loop. So, what if I do not want official branding and I want to install nodejs? Is that even possible?

Use --autounmask=n option of emerge (this problem is caused by bug 622462)
