Hello list, I need to install Cairo bindings for dev-lang/php-5*. *Is there a pecl-cairo overlay for ~x86? *I've tried unmasking this package and adding the keyword ~amd64 and it seems to want to install with emerge but my system is ~x86.




According to this site it is only ~amd64, but I cannot understand why.* http://gpo.zugaina.org/dev-php5/pecl-cairo



Thanks for any help.

I just think that maybe in Ebuild the keyword is ~amd64 what the ebuild maintainer do , it means that the maintainer just testedÂ* in arch amd64 not x86. if you want to install in x86,you can modify ebuild and add ~x86，maybe it works ,that is my opinion.

As Sam pointed out, maybe it's working, but but just not tested on other
architectures. To try without modifying the ebuild, you could put the
package into /etc/portage/package.keywords, followed by a ~*. From the
portage man page:

Note:
In addition to the normal values from ACCEPT_KEYWORDS package.keywords
supports three special tokens:

* package is visible if it is stable on any architecture
~* package is visible if it is in testing on any architecture
** package is always visible (KEYWORDS are ignored completely)

You don't need to modify the ebuild, just add a line
to /etc/portage/package.kjeywords

dev-php5/pecl-cairo ~amd64
