Boostrapping Prefix on i5 Mac OS X/Masked packages
 

Hi guys,

So I recently am in the process of bootstrapping and I get to the point where I 'emerge -e system' and it seems almost everything is masked. I understand I can put every package in packages.keywords or something like that, but there is probably a better way (that would taken forever!)?

What's the best solution to this problem?

Also, could I see someone's make.conf if they're on OS X? I'm relatively new to Gentoo and even newer to Prefix.



Thanks!

Harold

I'd check the output of "eselect profile list" and/or "ls -al /your/prefix/etc/make.profile"
The pointed directory should contains a make.default which should define your ARCH and more interestingly, ACCEPT_KEYWORDS to ~YOUR-ARCH, the tilde meaning you accept unstable package (mandatory with prefix). Or maybe you overrided the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS value in your make.conf with one without tilde ?

My 2 cents.

Hi Harold,
I've run prefix for a few years now and I most recently bootstrapped when I upgraded to 10.6 in the past year. *Unless this had changed recently the stable keywords (x86-macos vs. ~x86-macos) aren't really used (at least for OS X). *So if you're only have ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86-macos" then you'll probably find that many important things are masked. *I've also attached the make.conf that I use.

Awesome! Thanks for the help, guys!

My Prefix is loaded now and I have a reasonable make.conf.

Unfortunately, I still have some minor issues. I have MacPorts installed (for the time being) which I need, so my PATH variable includes the MacPorts Paths, and I also have a CPATH variable set for building against some installed libraries.

I tried to 'unset' the variables in the startprefix script, but the variables are set when I'm in the Prefix shell. Any ideas of where I can call/put a script to set the correct variables and have it be automated when I call 'startprefix'?



Thanks,

Harold

Hi Harold,
I deal with the same situation creating two different*.profile files .profile.gentoo and .profile.macport . In Mac OS terminal, I create two different settings using *"source .profile.gentoo" or*"source .profile.macport" as start command.
