[gentoo-user] Building and Installing with gentoo to non-gentoo Linux
Hi, I have small device running linux. I've set up crossdev and compiled a few binaries for it and tested that they don't break, including recompile of the original kernel. I wanted to use emerge to build binaries for my device, but I don't want portage on it, only to build the binaries and copy them. I've build python, but I don't know what files should I copy and to where, exactly. There's nothing about in the embedded handbook, the handbook assumes I would build and mount a gentoo like system for my device.

Re: [gentoo-user] Building and Installing with gentoo to non-gentoo Linux
You can tell portage to build binary packages, and then decompress those packages to get all the files you need specifically for that package. You can also build a whole gentoo system and then remove /usr/portage (about 1Gb), this will leave you with something very close to a LSF (linux from scratch) system but with few minor gentoo files. In both cases, maintenance will be your main problem (upgrades mostly) and unless you don't mind having a system that is hard/impossible to upgrade, I would look into that also!
