My first linux experience was with mandrake, then a few geeks at the lug had me set up with gentoo.. I think I did build KDE4 back then once.. I would think that gentoo portage could be minorly modified into a great development build system... just specify that my changes to source should be treated as patches, and have alternate install directories...
I wish it were that easy. for a while, I thought apt could be used to build from sources, and debian people were just not ridiculous with spending 20 hours to make something 2 percent faster... 2010/7/30 Michael Pyne <[email protected]>: > On Thursday, July 29, 2010 21:50:48 Aaron Peterson wrote: >> michael, I am posting that information at: >> http://techbase.kde.org/Kdesrc-build/workingrclist >> >> What distro are you using? and how do you have the prerequisites installed? > > I use Gentoo.
