[gentoo-user] problem with "aqua" keyword

[gentoo-user] problem with "aqua" keyword

[Xi Shen]

hi,

i ran into a strange problem. i am using gentoo 2008 amd64, with kde
4.3. i want to try the "aqua" gui with kde desktop. so i enabled
"aqua" use flag, but when emerge kdelibs, it requires a tool named
"install_name_tool" which is a apple dev tool. so i think i could get
this tool by emerging gcc-apple. but gcc-apple requires "x64-macos".

do i have to change my CHOST to "x64-macos" and rebuild my whole
system? is it possible to emerge the gcc-apple with my linux CHOST?

This was posted a bit ago about this issue:

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...)

HTH-

Maybe that will help.  Sound like you need a Mac for that.  I dunno.

So, using the "aqua" use flag is not possible on a normal pc, right?

Thanks :)

# paludis -ip kdelibs --dl-deps-default discard
Building target list...
Building dependency list: ... 1 steps

These packages will be installed:

* kde-base/kdelibs :4.3 [R 4.3.4] <target>
    -3dnow acl alsa (-altivec) (-aqua) -bindist bzip2 -debug -doc fam -
handbook -jpeg2k (-kdeenablefinal) (-kdeprefix) kerberos lzma mmx nls openexr 
opengl semantic-desktop spell sse sse2 ssl -zeroconf -test build_options: 
split strip -trace

Note the parenteses around "-aqua". They indicate that the use flag is not 
applicable here. The same is true for "altivec", for example, which is special 
to PPC processors.

HTH...

Hi,

Based on that earlier reply and Dirk's reply, I would assume this is a 
Mac only USE flag.  So, this is not possible on a normal PC, old IBM 
compatible.
