I wanted a quick start so I downloaded the binary distribution: https://www.arduino.cc/download_handler.php?f=/arduino-1.6.8-linux64.tar.xz It's good enough for me to start with as a newbie to Arduino :-) > PS: In a few minutes I will send you a mail offlist > with some infos about what I have found and for what > I will use the arduino.

One question: Did you download the arduino-1.6.8 binary distribution or the sources and compile those locally on your GENTOO box? Best regards Meino PS: In a few minutes I will send you a mail offlist with some infos about what I have found and for what I will use the arduino. I would be happy, if you can use it for you arduino project also!

I started with installing Arduino IDE 1.0.5 from GENTOO: $ emerge arduino It pulled in all needed dependent packages for the IDE. Look carefully at the information displayed at the end of the emerge. You have to run $ crossdev -s4 avr to have the Tool-Chain for Arduino compiled. Unfortunately I could not use IDE 1.0.5 because it didn't show some highlighted commands in the IDE correctly. So I downloaded IDE 1.6.8 and unzipped it in /opt. Next step was to run the installer $ /opt/arduino-1.6.8/install.sh To start IDE 1.6.8: /opt/arduino-1.6.8/arduino or via menu item. Hope this helps.

[gentoo-user] Arduino development on GENTOO Linux
Hi, WARNING! I AM __VERY__ NEW TO ARDUINO! :) For a little project I need to program an Arduino board. Since all needed lib/scatched/script - or whatever it is called in case of the Arduino - are already implemented by someone else I will not reinvent the wheel a second time :) Therefore I need the Arduino IDE. Here http://playground.arduino.cc/Linux/Gentoo I found some instructions, how to install it on GENTOO (I am on a 64 bit AMD machine...) But I found this: | 64-bit users: | librxtx is reported to cause some problems on gentoo linux because of an overflow, | causing the IDE to fail. This problem is noted at rxtx here. Please go here for fixed binaries. Above, "here" is a link ... which cannot be resolved. Furthermore: | Installing the Basics: | First you need to log in as the superuser and install some necessary packages: | emerge -avq sun-jre-bin crossdev but eix sun-jre-bin says "not found". So I /think/ this page is a little outdated...? An eix arduino gives two matches: * dev-embedded/arduino Available versions: 1.0.5-r1^bs {doc examples ELIBC="FreeBSD"} Homepage:http://arduino.cc/ https://arduino.googlecode.com/ Description: An open-source AVR electronics prototyping platform * dev-ros/rosserial_arduino Available versions: ~0.7.1 ** {test PYTHON_TARGETS="python2_7" ROS_MESSAGES="+cxx eus lisp +python"} Homepage:http://wiki.ros.org/rosserial_arduino Description: Libraries and examples for ROSserial usage on Arduino/AVR Platforms If the first one is the IDE it is outdated. The current version is 1.6.8. The second match seems not to be relevant in my case. Question: What software do I need for programming an Arduino board "the arduino way to do it" -- preverable installing it "the GENTOO way to do it" (read: I like sources and compilations, I dont like bin blobs from unknown sources that much...) Thank you very much for any help in advance! Have a nice weekend! :) Best regards, Meino
