As far as I can see emerge doesn't support using the -src self-compiled version for a dependency. Is that correct? I just did emerge qt and it auto-installed dbus-msvc, even though I've run emerge dbus-src just before that. Should I just create a package from my -src packages and then install them somehow via emerge? Andreas -- Be free and open and breezy! Enjoy! Things won't get any better so get used to it. _______________________________________________ Kde-windows mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-windows
