Did you install emerge/portage on the Pi yet? Python cannot be cross compiled (it's a hot topic since ages, but very few people have been successful with that). So I guess Python would have to be compiled on the Pi itself... the question is, emerge needs python and python needs emerge?!!? -- Nilesh Govindrajan http://nileshgr.com

I recently got a minimal gentoo running on the pi (without running emerge/compiling on the pi), here's what I've learned. Cross compilation is FUN <\sarcasm>. Lots of packages (like python) don't like being cross compiled. A good number of failures occurred because of missing build time dependencies on the host, Some times I had to copy certain files need at build-time from the host to the arm sysroot (mainly for the x11-proto/* packages). For the really adamant packages (like python) I used the method described here [1] to build binary packages using a native arm chroot + qemu-user (a rather interesting way to go about it). However I've not compared the performance (wrt compilation time) to running a full blown arm qemu vm so you may want to try that and see what works better for you. But I reckon any of these methods should be faster than compiling on the pi on a modern CPU. Also note cross-compiling is way faster than this method so I preferred cross-compiling and only resorted to this for packages like python. In the end I got it to boot. Then I decided I wanted to try xbmc, after seeing the long list of dependencies, I went ahead and installed openELEC :D. Which works great BTW (Still trying to find some indian news streams).

In that case why don't you just go ahead and use the stage 3 provided for the pi? I know you said you didn't want to use it earlier, but assuming your using the default profile to cross compile it will pull in everything that's in the stage3 tarball anyway. Once the stage 3 is setup you can use distcc and get rid of the stuff you dont want. Another thing you can do to speed things up is mount the root file system over NFS or on a usb hdd. It was quite a bit faster in my experience -- - Yohan Pereira The difference between a Miracle and a Fact is exactly the difference between a mermaid and a seal. -- Mark Twain
