[gentoo-user] Emerge building a binary from installed package

[Dale]

Hi,

I think there is a way to do this but it's not sticking out at me on the 
emerge man page.  I'm doing a install and want to build a binary package 
from my running system and install it on the new install.  Basically, I 
don't want to recompile, I just want emerge to copy the correct files 
and make a tarball for me.

I found the buildpkg option but that seems to compile it first then make 
a tarball.  Can I get it to skip the compile part?  Is that a option 
that portage has?

Thanks.

Dale

That's not portage but it will work just fine and is what I am looking 
for.  I just need to read the right man page next time.  ;-)

Thanks much.

Allow me to clarify then.  It's not emerge.  I was looking at the emerge 
man page.  Obviously I was looking in the wrong place tho.  ;-)

That compiles it first tho.  I was trying to avoid that.

I am still ending up having to compile it tho.  KDE won't start for some 
crazy reason.  Heck, startx doesn't even work.  I think it missed 
something somewhere.

I told quickpkg to save the config files too but I think it missed one 
somewhere.  I checked and double checked everything and X just will not 
start.

I also had a couple cmake errors when trying to rebuild a few packages, 
hoping to recover whatever is missing.  A emerge -e @system appears to 
have fixed that and a emerge -e @ world is in the works.  I need one of 
them four core CPUs to rush this along a little.  ;-)   My little AMD 
2500+ is getting tired.

Now you know I'm not going to even attempt to use hal.  :-D  I been 
there and done that.  It was no fun at all.
