Hi. I am trying to setup the cross compile environment following the guide from http://gentoo.mindzoo.de/index.cgi/wiki/cross-compiling
and i think i found a little error:



4. We also recommend to use the suggested overlay keywords and useflags of the overlay to avoid problems. This step is completely optional.

cd /etc/portage
ln -s $location/portage-flags-host/keywords package.keywords/openmoko-keywords


the second command cannot be done because package.keywords is a file, not a directory. So i think the correct way to go is

cat $location/portage-flags-host/keywords/* >> package.keywords


to write all the keywords in the file.
Please, correct me if i didn't get something..

Both variants (from wiki and your are correct)



It depends on what structure of /etc/portage you use (or how many stuff you have inside)



man portage says:

>/etc/portage/

>Any file in this directory that begins with "package." can be more than just a flat file. If it is a directory, then all the files in that directory ill be sorted in ascending alphabetical order by file name and summed together as if it were a single file.

ok thank you, i didn't know this. Is there a way for me to modify the
wiki to include this note? I think many unexperienced people will have
this problem..

(1) do not top post
(2) that wiki isnt maintained by Gentoo people ... you'll have to contact the
guy who owns it

As in the tickets I found a lot of references to tasks regarding updates of wiki documentation I guess you may open a ticket as well.
May someone confirm this is the right way?

Yes, this is the intended way. However, the problem discussed here is
general to gentoo and probably should not reside in our wiki.

Best regards,
