Posted: Fri Oct 01, 2021 1:39 am Post subject: installing emelfm2 in 64bit Desktop (stable) |
|
|
I'm trying to install emelfm2 on my newly installed 64-bit Gentoo on a fitlet2 machine. Actually, I'm trying to duplicate my old desktop environment that I customized ("i.e. my own distro") in which I use mc and emelfm as file managers, on a twm window manager. So far so good.
When I do "emerge -a emelfm2" I get a massage of conflict about required USE flags: "spell? ( !gtk3 )"
I did an Code: | equery emelfm2-0.9.1-r5 | and it shows an "I column" of negative sign for gtk3.
Searching the Internet I saw some posting about gtk3 vs. gtk2.
My simple question is: how can install emelfm (does not even has to be the new version of emelfm2)?
I'm new to Gentoo, have studied some manuals and Internet posting, but thought someone might have a simple solution for this.
Thank you,
Janos |

Wow, that's old:
In /etc/portage/package.use:
Code: | app-misc/emelfm2 -spell -gtk3 |
then,
Code: | $ emerge -p emelfm2
These are the packages that would be merged, in order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] app-misc/emelfm2-0.9.1-r5 USE="acl gimp nls policykit udisks -ansi -gtk3 -spell" |
But, I'm not installing it. Suggest you consider x11-misc/spacefm or x11-misc/pcmanfm. _________________ Andy Figueroa

jankom,
Welcome to Gentoo,means spell feature requires -gtk3.
In order to do so, you should have Code: | app-misc/emelfm2 -gtk3 | somewhere in a /etc/portage/packages.use/* file,.cf Gentoo wiki
Plz post
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. _________________ USE="-*" in /etc/portage/make.conf here. |

Please get in the habit of posting the full error message. In this case, if you showed the output of emerge --pretend --verbose app-misc/emelfm2, we could check your configuration. |

@Hu - understood, I'll do so in the future (hopefully rarely).
@figueroa - I alrady had one file in my "/etc/portage/package.use" named freetype that had a similar structure - I guess it was the result of my first trouble, the freetype-harfbuzz circular reference. It was solved thanks to this forum. So I created another file named emelfm2 containing the one line in your instruction Code: | app-misc/emelfm2 -spell -gtk3 | and installation went well, though slow, nearly two hours. But then I was able to call it from my twm menu.
@CaptainBlood - Now I understand the meaning of the special characters in "foo1? ( !foo2 )" message when I try to emerge something. Next time in a similar situation I just have to add an appropriate file to "/etc/portage/package.use". |

Two hours compiling for < two meg source file should be considered a problem needing a solution. _________________ Andy Figueroa

It was nut just one file, lots of many other files. I don't know how to find the log file of this installation. I was just happy that it worked and the software itself ran as expected.
Mine is just a brand new Gentoo desktop installation. I'm in the process of instaling more programs ("apps") that I normally use, like gimp, simple a GUI editor, office, mysquel, web browser, email client, many others. |

Code: | ls -ltr /var/log/portage
tail -200 /var/log/emerge.log |
Those may help you discern some things.
Also:
Code: | genlop -i app-misc/emelfm2 |
