Need Help Installing KDE On Fresh Install [SOLVED]

[lokoalex]

This is my 5th try. I have set up gentoo as no-multilib and as soon as I get to install of KDE I get a ton of issues with missing USE flags. I have followed the KDE install guide but I cant seem to figure out where I am going wrong. So I have finished installing my base system and before I go any further I want to ask for some help. As mentioned before my profile is currently set as:

Code: Select all

default/linux/amd64/23.0/no-multilib/systemd (stable)

My make.conf is:

Code: Select all

COMMON_FLAGS="-march=native -O2 -pipe"
CFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
CXXFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FCFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
FFLAGS="${COMMON_FLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j12 -l13"
RUSTFLAGS="${RUSTFLAGS} -C target-cpu=native"
VIDEO_CARDS="intel nvidia iris"
ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"
ABI_X86="64"
# NOTE: This stage was built with the bindist USE flag enabled
USE="dist-kernel grub-gtk -gnome qt5 kde dvd alsa cdr"

# This sets the language of build output to English.
# Please keep this setting intact when reporting bugs.
LC_MESSAGES=C.utf8
GRUB_PLATFORMS="efi-64"

Can someone please point me in the right direction before I start trying to intall KDE again?

TBH, you should start with default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma/systemd profile.

If you want no-multilib, then add it on using Creating custom profiles (wiki). Following example 1 in that same section. with:

Code: Select all

gentoo:default/linux/amd64/23.0/desktop/plasma/systemd
gentoo:arch/amd64/no-multilib

This gives your Plasma desktop, systemd, and no-multilib

Ok. So start with the plasma/desktop/systems profile, then switch over to nomultilib? Maybe the handbook should explain that a litter better. LOL

No ... you can start also with a nomultilib installation ... then combine the profiles ... AND SELECT IT ... (and check with "emerge --info" if you have now a ton of Use-flags active) and then install:

(of course you must use systemd commands instead OpenRC commands)
