Re: [gentoo-user] Re: Looking for a pre-compiled Linux distribution

I think that I will recommend Void Linux to you. The reasons are as follows : 1. rolling release as Gentoo and Arch. 2. use runit as init system. 3. Its package manager, xbps, is easy and quick to install/update/remove software. On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 9:47 AM, Nikos Chantziaras

[gentoo-user] Just when is portage/bashrc sourced?

Package P bypasses applying user patches (by not calling default_src_prepare). I have patches I need to apply to P, and in this case I really don't want to fork the ebuild. So, I'm hell bent on doing it the hacky way with /etc/portage/bashrc (which, IIRC, I have been told on this list not to do,

Hello, Firstly, you should file a bug, but that might not get it working as quickly as you'd like. On Thu, Nov 23, 2017 at 11:01 AM, Helmut Jarausch wrote: > Hi, > > cmake is still a mystery to me. > > I like to add a (non-Gentoo) package to my local overlay. > This package

Re: [gentoo-user] Cmake problem - please help

Below are approaches that I would suggest if you want to go for the local solution: 1. Use brewlinux to install mumps. I assume brew will pull all required dependencies. This approach works well for me in different servers. 2. Compile mumps and it dependencies locally. You need to play around

[gentoo-user] Cmake problem - please help

Hi, cmake is still a mystery to me. I like to add a (non-Gentoo) package to my local overlay. This package is configured and built by 'cmake' It needs and finds a package 'mumps' (from the Science Overlay) but linkage fails since the 'mumps' library needs another library (scalapack) So,
