[gentoo-user] does the "aqua" use flag still valid in gentoo 2008?

[Xi Shen]

hi,

i want to try to enable the "aqua" flag with my kde. but it is
displayed as "(-aqua)" when i try to emerge kde. i searched the
network, and people say it is disabled by my profile. i am using the
"default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop" profile. which profile should i use
to enable this use flag?

hi,

if you have enabled "aqua" flag in make.conf, then it won't matter how
it is set in desktop profile.

wen

Stick with the profile you are most happy with and modify it
in /etc/portage/profile. In this case

echo "-aqua" >>/etc/portage/profile/use.mask

man portage explains more.

If it doesn't fit, you're not using a big enough hammer.

This is because Aqua/Carbon are Mac OS X-specific UI libraries - unless
you're running Gentoo/Darwin (aka Gentoo on Mac OS X), you're not going to
have the necessary UI libraries for the compiling packages to link against,
unless you've managed to extract the Carbon libraries intact from a Mac
system (no idea if that's even possible...)
