Again, I think it's better to look at make.defaults. At least then you 
know
where the use flags are coming from.
I think it's better to look at `emerge info`: it is in /etc/make.conf 
that any changes should be made, users are discouraged from changing 
make.defaults. Encouraging users to look in make.defaults to see where 
their defaults come from fosters the risk of them editing it.

Joshua: you might find `emerge ufed` useful for helping you edit your 
USE flags.
I always run `emerge -upv somefile` before emerging it for real - the 
-v flag tells you which USE flags it wants to use.

HTH,

Stroller.

I get your point. I should have been clearer. What I meant was just to take a 
glance at it to know how the system works. It clears up the question of why 
-flag is needed in make.conf.

 Joshua: you might find `emerge ufed` useful for helping you edit your
 USE flags.

ufed is a very good idea. It not only shows composite and breakdown of all use 
flag settings and locations.

 I always run `emerge -upv somefile` before emerging it for real - the
 -v flag tells you which USE flags it wants to use.

Also a good idea

[gentoo-user] How-to trouble shoot emerge/ebuild error messages...

2003-09-15 Thread Joshua Banks
My first question is:

1 Does someone have a standard operating proceedure for on how to troubleshoot package
compilation errors to get the most info possible to pass along to the list and/or 
Gentoo Forums?

2Is there a log that is kept somewhere in Gentoo when a package fails with errors? If 
so, where 
please?

My example below... This is the only one that I was able to catch from the shell 
output.. But
allot of others failed as well because when I do a emerge -uDp world it keeps 
listing the same
files that fail continously when I try emerge -uD world...

The bad thing is, is that these take forever to compile and then they fail right at 
the end. My
computer has spent all day compiling/upgrading 33 pkgs and these keep failing. I'm 
running with
all Gentoo 2.4.20r5 defaults with no modifications to the make.conf file what so 
ever.. So I
should only be receiving stable packages...NO?
Calculating world dependencies ...done!

There's not really a standard operating procedure, but the information you 
provided in this case was enough. Basically, you should submit:

1) The command immediately before the error happened onwards
2) The output of emerge info

You did number 1 and number 2 could be implied from you saying that you 
haven't changed make.conf...

make.conf is used to override the defaults for the architecture (or more 
specifically the profile). The link above was set when you extracted your 
stage[1..3] tarball. You should never edit anything in /usr/portage because 
it'll just get overwritten when you emerge sync.

As for giflib and libungif, libungif provides functionality that giflib 
already contains. The ebuild is aware of this and (I'm guessing) links 
against giflib instead of using its own implementation.

It seems, from the error messages you first provided, that kdegraphics 
requires libungif regardless of the use flags but that the ebuild doesn't 
show the explicit dependency. If you now try to emerge kdegraphics and it 
works, then that is definately the case and thus a bug report is required... 

Make sense?

So if its using this file below then whats the use of make.conf?
  
   For your modifications to the USE var.
 
  And any other vars...

xv zlib
   
ARCH=x86
COMPILER=gcc3
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86
  
   Better to simply look at the output of 'emerge info'
 
  Again, I think it's better to look at make.defaults. At least then you

   Possibly remerge this.
 
  I hate to sound rude but... please don't try to give advice
  unless you have advice to give. What does possibly mean? Why
  should he possible remerge it?
 
So now I'm assuming that since make.conf USE section is
commented with # then its using make.profile and sourcing
make.defaults? NO?
  
   Yes.
 
  Also try to be a bit more clearer... make.defaults is always
  used. The only time it isn't is when you've done like me and have
  -* at the start of your USE in make.conf. Otherwise it serves as
  the base. Actually, the default order can also be changed - look
  in make.globals to find out how and add the change to make.conf
  if you wish.
 
Alittle confused now as to why it's looking here when I don't
remember making this file or making a symlink to this
file..Is your system setup like this?
  
   Yes
 
  Basically, even a meta-distribution has to have a set of
  defaults. That's where the defaults are kept.
 
lrwxrwxrwx1 root root   39 Sep 11 17:42
make.profile - ../usr/portage/profiles/default-x86-1.4
   
So if its using this file below then whats the use of
make.conf?
  
   For your modifications to the USE var.
 
  And any other vars...
 
bash-2.05b#less make.defaults
   
USE=x86 oss apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb
gdbm gif gpm gtk imlib java jpeg kde gnome libg++ libwww mad
mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib
png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga
tcpd truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib
   
ARCH=x86
COMPILER=gcc3
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=x86
  
   Better to simply look at the output of 'emerge info'
 
  Again, I think it's better to look at make.defaults. At least
  then you know where the use flags are coming from.

 Hey Jason,

 What does -* do in the USE section of make.conf? Isn't that like saying
 don't use any variables.??

The USE declaration is parsed one word at a time. The first word (meaning 
string of chars separated by whitespace) is -*. When portage encounters it, 
portage clears all USE flags it's picked up from 
/etc/make.profile/make.defaults and wherever else. The shell still takes 
precedence over /etc/make.conf however. I've only done this because sometimes 
there are small changes to make.defaults which of course aren't advertised. 
Sometimes I use emerge depclean and this way I can be sure that nothing will 
break due to use flags (unless it's because of my own negligence).
