Recently a coworker installed a Gentoo prefix on his Mac and the two
things he struggled in the begining:
 - libz required in the prefix is not availalbe on the system (libz on
his MacOS was too new)
 - cmake has to be built without LIBUV

After fixing those issues it built straight through to stage3.

Cheers,
Andrej

If you have some experience managing Gentoo on Linux
Gentoo Prefix on MacOS might be good enough for you:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Prefix

TL;DR: it's idea is to use EPREFIX=$HOME/gentoo/
for all portage-installed packages.

The initial installation might require a few tweaks.
irc://freenode/#gentoo-prefix people should be able to help.

What power saving features are you referring to?  When I installed Gentoo with 
a Gnome desktop on a MacBook Pro, all power features on the OSX were also 
available on the Gentoo OS.

I suspect you are asking for something like this?

https://blog.newrelic.com/2016/06/20/docker-osx-mac/

However there may be better ways of meeting your requirements, if you explain 
what these might be in more detail (running Gentoo in containers may be a sub-
optimal solution).

[gentoo-user] Running Gentoo infrastructure on MacOS

2017-04-11 Thread Viktar Patotski 
Hi List,

I know that it's possible to install Gentoo as a dual boot on a Mac Book.
However I do like MacOs interface and it's power saving features. So, I
have a question: Is there any way to have MacOs booted, but use Gentoo
infrastructure (portage, packages etc.)? I'm aware of VirtualBox and
similar options, but is there a way to be integrated in more easy way?
Something similar to container based virtualisation?

Thanks,
Viktar
