Re: [gentoo-user] emerge inforamtion
Just adding something. Since the package is already installed, you can type: equery u net-print/hplip It should give you a description of what each USE flag means. And it works with every package. If you get a command not found error, emerge gentoolkit to get the equery program :) Regards, Raphael 2006/3/30, Teresa and Dale [EMAIL PROTECTED]: [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: USE flags doubts (again). If I run this command: emerge -pv hplip the output is: [ebuild R ] net-print/hplip-0.9.7-r3 +X +cups +foomaticdb -ppds +qt +scanner* -snmp +usb 0 kB There are 5 flags prefixed by a plus and red coloured (+X, +cups, +foomaticdb, +qt and +usb). These flags are already set. Right? The plus sign means that it will be compiled with support for that flag. It means you can use that basically. There are 2 flags prefixed by a menus and blue coloured (-ppds and -snmp). These flags are not set. But, should I set them? It depends on whether you will use them or not. This is what that flag is for: ppds - Adds support for automatically generated ppd (printing driver) files. If you need it, edit make.conf file and put it in the USE= line. The snmp is this: snmp - Adds support for the Simple Network Management Protocol if available. You can get the same info from here: /usr/portage/profiles/use.desc Finally there is anoter flag prefixed by a plus and green coloured (+scanner*). What does the trailing * mean? What does the green colour mean? Thank you a lot in advance. emilio If I recall correctly, that * means it has been changed since the program was instaled. If you changed some flags recently, you may want to do a emerge -Nvp world to see what else has changed. If everything looks OK, take off the p and let it recompile those for you so it will work correctly. Hope that helps.

What does the green colour mean? A previous build did not include those flags. The new build would. Thank you a lot in advance. emilio -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
