I'm building Gentoo for Raspberry Pi on the Raspberry Pi OS.

When I chroot into the gentoo enviroment the following happens:

Code:
root@raspberrypi:/mnt/gentoo# chroot /mnt/gentoo /bin/bash
bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)


The warning isn't shown in the guide I'm using so wondering if I need to fix it and if so how do I go about doing that?

Thanks!

madderhatter,

Welcome to Gentoo

Building Gentoo on a Pi is a challenge. Its not too bad on a Pi4 if you can keep the CPU out of thermal throttling.
Look at cross compiling and distcc to speed things up.
There are several guides on the Wiki for Gentoo on Raspberry Pi too.

Code:
warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (en_US.UTF-8)
is a warning, not an error.
That's a very common locale too. Its provided by glibc.
As its in the chroot, I'm not sure if its the hosts (outside the chroot) or the Gentoo stage 3 locales that will be used.

As its a warning, not an error, you can continue.
You may see some characters not rendered correctly.

Raspberry Pi is an ARM system - so moving this topic to Gentoo on ARM
