|
|
Hi guys. I'm using Calculate Gentoo. I'm trying to install the BSNES emulator from an ebuild file I got from here:
https://gpo.zugaina.org/games-emulation/bsnes-plus
Followed all the instructions on installing an ebuild, and getting the error "'bsnes-plus-9999' is not a valid package atom" when I try to emerge it.
I'm thinking there should be a way to just add gpo.zugainia.org to Portage .... I looked around the manual and couldn't figure it out.
Can you please tell me how? Thanks =)

I think I figured it out using Layman. I'll re-post if it worked.

Still getting "Not a valid package atom, check ebuild(5) for full details".

Yep; the mentioned ebuild is from an unnoficial portage overlay. The overlay is not gpo.zugainia.org (this is a site that hosts overlays), but in this case the "roslin" overlay (as indicated by your link to bsnes-plus -- look for overlay information in that page).
Check the handbook and choose a method for adding unnofficial ebuilds to your portage tree. |

What's your exact command? Are you putting "=" in front? |

I could just reboot into Windows 7 but was really wanting to get it running on gentoo.

Try
emerge =games-emulation/bsnes-088-r1
or just
emerge bsnes
I suggest adding "-a" or "--ask"
emerge -a bsnes |

I think I got it; the bsnes-plus package was masked, as well as snesreader-9999 which it required. Used --autounmask-write and etc-update.
Thanks guys, got it working =) |
