So how did you install Gentoo?
How does installation process have to do with anything? I suppose I
booted it from the disc and made the settings and emerged the packages
I want.
It is obvious that such a mechanism has not been developed with
gentoo-like solution in mind.
The compilation system was around long before Gentoo.
That is why I said that it has not been developed with gentoo-like
solution in mind. I'm sorry if my English is too hard for you but
that's as good as I can do.
Since Gentoo is primarily a "from source" distribution then seeing how a
package is built is part of the process.
You can't really see anything from the output of making automake on any
average modern system. Or you might be able to catch the command row of
linker linking the last binaries together since it stops more than one
second in that place and the command line is not so horridly long.
If you don't like it, pick another distro, use the GRP packages and
don't compile anything yourself or write some code and submit patches.
Bah.
