Maybe something like a --use-mask=3D"-x +ncurses" would = work and could be masked over the standard USE flags for that build only. The next questions is does this count for all the dependencies that might get built as well with that emerge command? Probably should, but could get people in a bit of trouble if they aren't careful......Of course, so could a lot of other things.....

So without further APU here it is: emerge vim -o -gtk -x ncurses This would overide the current settings for gtk x and ncurses in the=20 /etc/make.conf file. emerge vim -O ncurses What this would do is apply nothing but the ncurses use flag to the compile. What do you think, if you need me to elaborate I could. _______________________________________________ gentoo-dev mailing list gentoo-dev@gentoo.org http://lists.gentoo.org/mailman/listinfo/gentoo-dev
