Is there a way to pass arguments through emerge to the package to be compiled? for example, i want to emerge mysql - because of some recent changes they made with DATA LOCAL, i now need to configure mysql with the --enable-local-infile option. I couldn't find any way of doing this, however.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You have several routes you can take:

1. modify the mysql ebuild to add the requird configure flag in the confgiure step. Note that this changes will be overwritten after the next emerge rsync.

2. take advantage of the portage overlay dir in recent version of portage, and create local portage dir, which will contain your modified ebuild. The ebuilds in the local overlay dir won't be ovrewrttien.

3. Look at the I want to perform the ./configure step myself. Can I ? under section 3 in the FAQ.

If you select one of them and having problems with it, report back here and we'll help you through it :-)

From italian section of this forum ....

Quote:

Ho letto nella mailing list che molti ebuild supportamo la variabile MYCONF per opzioni personalizzate, quindi

MYCONF="quelchesivuole" emerge qualcosa

dovrebbe funzionare. Non 'ho mai usato, comunque

I read in the mailing list tha many ebuids supports the MYCONF variable to set personalized options so

MYCONF="your personale setting" emerge package

should work. Not tested yet anyway :)
