Hi,

due to bad luck in the past .... ;)


What is the most reliable and promising way to compile KRITA and only
KRITA on Gentoo Linux ?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
Meino

Bad luck? be more specific, usually code compiles or not for a reason.

It is not in the tree so, you have to manually do it.
Read the upstream documentation that is in the source repo, install the
required packages for build and run time, and if you can, make an
ebuild. The way you say 'KRITA and only KRITA' makes me think you find
annoying to have to install other stuff for building it? Am I correct?
If so, there's no way around it, The package is actually very well
documented for building and packaging, I'd say some of the best stuff I
have seen, with pointers for packagers. So Following the
recommendations should not be difficult if you plan to make your own
ebuild for it. A downside might be it requires you to patch Qt5.6, but
you should be able to do that without many problems.
Another thing you could try is search for a overlay that has it, and if
you find only old versions, you can try to bump the ebuild.

It is in the tree as it comes with the app-office/calligra suite. He
means he only wants Krita from that bundle, not the Words or Sheets etc.
programs.

I see, I don't use KDE, and try to avoid K* stuff( I use GNOME here),
not because I have anything against it, but because it brings a lot of
packages, and I don't want to spend more time compiling.
But I have a doubt now, I found a web page, a source repo, and even a
Foundation, dedicated to KRITA[1], after quick search. Is the version
with calligra old?, or is it calligra just bundles several repos, into
one for distribution?, did KRITA split out of calligra? looking at the
calligra ebuild, I didn't see anything related to KRITA in SRC_URI,
there is USE flag stuff about it, but It doesn't seem to be getting the
same KRITA I found, if fact the one I found seems to be its own
project. 
BTW, didn't know of the existence of KRITA, it seems like a very nice
program.

What kind of bad luck? Please post specific errors.

The most promising way should be installing it from the tree. Set
CALLIGRA_FEATURES="krita" in your make.conf so you only get Krita, and
emerge app-office/calligra.

Thanks for all the replies. Next weekend I will try my luck.

The problems were compile errors. I was that unspecific, because
I have no logs anymore.

Hey Meino,

install and use 'app-portage/elogv' as it provides a condensed, actionable
summary of the install log. Then if you need more info, set up your system
to save the log files, for deeper review when necessary.
