Hi, Suppose the following setup:
I want to emerge application "F", which depends on library "A","B","C","D" and "E", which unfortunately are not used by any other program and are really heavy to compile in terms of compile time. Unfortunately the last step -- the compilation of "A" -- fails, which I recognize unfortunately but naturally at the moment all other dependencies are installed. Is there a legal and clean way to "lock" those already installed dependencies and save them from being wiped out by the tidy and clean up commands normally used after a general update of gentoo? Thank you very much for any help in advance! Best regards, mcc
