If I set "X" by default in /etc/make.conf...what happens to programs, which simply doesn't know anything about "X" ... for example "basename" (...yes, I know, "basename" is an builtin in most shells...just an example). Will make.conf override /usr/portagte/<category>/<progrname>/*.ebuild ? If so, what happens, if the gentoo developpers have set "-X" intentionally in the *ebuild file and I have set "X" (globally!) in make.conf. Currently I am a little anxious to set "X" (or unset it or set/unset any other USE flag in make.conf due to its global character). On the other side I dont like to compile qt three times for example, due of missing USE flags...(initial compilation, openssl was missing, opengl was missing). (*NO* cristism on the gentoo people intended !!! :) Keep hacking! mcc -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
