Hi Andrés,
thanks for the pointer to the ebuild for lyx-1.5.0b1 ebuild.
I downloaded it, editet the options for the suffix etc. as indicated by
Georg and Russel but I couldn't convince emerge to use it. eix too
ignored it.
What would I have to do to get it working?
Hello Hellmut,
You should place the ebuild in an overlay, lets say
"/usr/local/portage". Edit /etc/make.conf adding this:
PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage"
-Then create these complete route: /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Move the ebuild there
- cp /usr/portage/app-office/lyx/files/lyx.desktop
/usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- Put the patch in the Gentoo bugzilla (lyx-1.5.0_beta1-gentoo.patch)
in /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/files
- ebuild /usr/local/portage/app-office/lyx/lyx-1.5.0_beta1.ebuild digest
- emerge -av lyx
BTW i verified the packages mentioned in the DEPEND sections: most have
already been merged some of the libX's weren't known to eix. ???
The emerge -av lyx should list the dependencies portage is going to merge .
I hope it helps
