[gentoo-user] how to use EXTRA_ECONF?

[gentoo-user] how to use EXTRA_ECONF?

[Matias Grana]

Hi;
I'm trying to compile  vim  with +clipboard support. One can do this by
passing  --enable-clipboard  to configure. There's no USE flag for this
feature. After some research, I've learned that the way to do this is to
configure the  EXTRA_ECONF  variable. Now the question is: is there a
file to put these variables in? Something like /etc/portage/package.use
but for econfs?
Sure I can set it by hand for one emerge, but I'd like to set
EXTRA_ECONF to "--enable-clipboard" forever.

TIA,
Matias

You can set variables for individual ebuilds using /etc/portage/bashrc.
save the attached file as /etc/portage/bashrc then do

mkdir -p /etc/portage/env.d/app-editors
echo >>/etc/portage/env.d/app-editors/vim 'EXTRA_ECONF="--enable-clipboard"'

You can use this to set variables, or override default settings, for any
package.

Ooh that's quite nifty. I'll have to write that one down. Thanks, Neil. :)

You could try using /etc/portage/bashrc, see portage(5). Use at your own
risk.

Hope that helps,

Oh, Neil, you're kidding, right? I'd had to use FEATURES="-nostrip" on
the command line for *ages* to get SDL to emerge unstripped so that it
would work with NWMovies (the hack that allows Neverwinter Nights to
play movies inside the game, like normal); the only reason I stopped was
because with the very most recent versions of SDL even that doesn't work
and I have to compile it manually after hacking one line in video.c.

But you're saying I could have just added echo >>
/etc/portage/env.d/media-libs/libsdl 'FEATURES="nostrip"' to
/etc/portage/bashrc and I would have been done, all those times-- could
have just emerged normally?

But man 5 portage doesn't say anything about /etc/portage/env.d, and it
doesn't say anything much about what precisely you can put in
/etc/portage/bashrc either:

SYNOPSIS
       /etc/

              world

(note no /etc/portage/env.d mentioned, so how would one know to create
it or that it would be recognized by Portage)

       /etc/portage/

              bashrc If needed, this file can be used to set up a
special environment  for  ebuilds,  different  from  the
                     standard root environment.  The syntax is the same
as for any other bash script.

(this says almost nothing, frankly, unless you are very familiar with
the 'standard root environment for ebuilds', and again, doesn't say
anything about which particular features of this enviroment may be
varied by this file, or if any of them may not be, in true 'not yet
implemented' fashion).

But then again, I restrict myself to the last stable version of Portage:

* sys-apps/portage
     Available versions:  2.0.51.22-r3 ~2.0.53_rc5 [M]2.1.0_alpha20050718
     Installed:           2.0.51.22-r3

Is it possible that the man page is updated in the unstable versions, or
that this is implemented in the unstable versions only, or are you just
very clever to have figured this all out :-) ?

The /etc/portage/bashrc file can be (ab)used to do all kinds of things
with the emerge command. Because the use of it can allow a user to not
only shoot themselves in the foot, but blow up the entire system, it
isn't heavily documented. 

Basically, it is one of those things that if you don't know what you are
doing, then either stay away from it or have extensive backups of your
system.

Finally, this doesn't mean that you shouldn't use Neil's suggestion.
Just make sure that you are comfortable with the supplied bashrc before
implementing.

Paul

No, you put the settings in /etc/portage/env.d/cate-gory/package. Use the
attached script for bashrc.

It wouldn't, that directory is used by that particular bashrc script.

bashrc is run by ebuild at various stages of the process.

Nice! thanks so much; maybe I'll try this next time. It seems that this
time I've missed some doc:

Nicer! So this is what vim-with-x stand for! I saw the flag, but thought
that it would pull down gvim, which I already have in my world.
Now: this pops up a second question: where can we see the exact efect of USE
flags on packages? For instance: what other features  'vim-with-x'  will
enable?

USE flag descriptions can be found in /usr/portage/profiles. There are
two files:

/usr/portage/profiles/use.desc (for global USE flags), and
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc (for local USE flags relevant to
individual packages).

You can of course search/grep normally through these files, but I find
it easier to nick an alias that someone on the list provided, and add it
to ~/.bashrc:

alias useflag='grep /usr/portage/profiles/use.*desc -e'

which enables me to do this (after re-sourcing ~/.bashrc, which I also
have an alias to do :-) ):

Aha! Now it seems that I have an old (or not so accurate)
/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:

/usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc:app-editors/vim:vim-with-x -
Enables linking the console vim against X libs to enable some features
in xterms

This is why I neglected to see that clipboard and vim-with-x were
related. But what I find confusing now is why I have this difference.
How does one update the  use.local.desc  file? It seems not to belong to
any package
(tried  "equery belongs /usr/portage/profiles/use.local.desc"
and didn't get any answer).

You're not out of sync, Holly is, possibly an upstream sync issue.

This file is resynced when you 'emerge --sync'; it is not owned by a package 
in portage.  If you look at the timestamp of the file it should match the 
date of your last sync.

For Holly's case, I'm wondering if she's syncing against a system that doesn't 
mirror that file from upstream?  Just a guess.

Everything under $PORTDIR (usually /usr/portage) except for distfiles
gets updated by "emerge --sync".

????!!!! I esync every night at 3am CET. How can I be out of sync? And,
if Matias somehow synced more recently than I did, how can his sync
result in a *less* informative description than the allegedly older one
(mine) ?

I sync against the Netherlands rsync pool,
SYNC="rsync://rsync.nl.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage".

I suppose what you say is possible, but does not seem to be the case.

I figured you sync'd daily Holly; I wouldn't have expected any less. ;-)

The question is, however, if you and I both sync daily and, although file 
times suggest they have been updated, but the file contents are different, 
where would the problem lie?

The only guess I could come up with is the upstream mirror.  I sync against 
http://gentoo.osuosl.org/, and you're syncing against the netherlands pool.  
Either one themselves could be sync'd against another mirror which is sync'd 
against another mirror...

Somewhere along the line I'm guessing that perhaps this particular file is not 
fetched/updated for some reason which would leave one of us with an outdated 
copy.

I know mine comes out of CVS with the header 
$Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/use.local.desc,v 1.1502 2005/10/18 
00:03:00 vapier Exp $, so I'm guessing that I have the later file.

So does mine:

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/use.local.desc,v 1.1502
2005/10/18 00:03:00 vapier Exp $

are you saying that this line

app-editors/vim:vim-with-x - Linking console vim against X11 libraries
to enable title and clipboard features in xterm

is not the same on your file, despite the identical header?

Wheee, another person successfully confused by sneakily changing stuff
in response to mailing list questions and not bothering to announce the
fact. You're all crazy, anyway. There's no "ing" in the description.

OK, now I re "emerge --sync"d, and I got the new description. My older
description was from

# $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/profiles/use.local.desc,v 1.1500 2005/10/16 21:25:13 brix Exp $

I've found some mental peace state now  :)

Thanks to all of you!
