Hi,
Debain everywhere...
Ubuntu everywhere...
"To use this library just do a apt-get build-essential, apt-get this
and apt-get that...your done".
Hrrrmpppfff....
What the heck is "build-essential?" What's hidden behind it?
I am currently facing a similiar problem: I am trying to get
a TFT display running. For using this library to access this TFT
one "only" needs to do a ...guess... "apt-get python smbus".
Neither "smbus' nor "I2C" produces any match in the output of
eix...
What's that package? Is it in Gentoo?
Any help is very appreciated :)
Best regards,
mcc

I2c is in the kernel. I use it to access my temps and such here. Just
a small snippet:
root@fireball / # zcat /proc/config.gz | grep -i i2c
# CONFIG_BMP085_I2C is not set
# CONFIG_SENSORS_LIS3_I2C is not set
CONFIG_MOUSE_SYNAPTICS_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C=y
CONFIG_I2C_BOARDINFO=y
CONFIG_I2C_COMPAT=y
CONFIG_I2C_CHARDEV=y
# CONFIG_I2C_MUX is not set
CONFIG_I2C_HELPER_AUTO=y
CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT=y
SMBUS I think is in the same category. From a search for smbus from
within menuconfig:
Symbol: I2C_SMBUS
[=n]
│
│ Type :
tristate
│
│ Prompt: SMBus-specific
protocols
│
│
Location:
│
│ -> Device
Drivers
│
│ -> I2C support (I2C
[=y])
│
│ (1) -> Autoselect pertinent helper modules (I2C_HELPER_AUTO
[=y])
│
│ Defined at
drivers/i2c/Kconfig:76
│
│ Depends on: I2C
[=y]
│
│ Selected by: I2C_PARPORT [=n] && I2C [=y] && HAS_IOMEM [=y] &&
PARPORT [=y] || I2C_PARPORT_LIGHT [=n] && I2C [=y] && HAS_IOMEM
[=y] │
│
If I recall correctly, SMBUS and I2C work together on getting temps and
fan speeds and such.
Also, some folks use lm-sensors. I think it does the same but in user
space instead of kernel space. That's my understanding anyway.
Hope that helps.

Hi Dale,
thanks for your informations... :)
I did a typo...instead of
"apt-get python smbus".
it must be
"apt-get python-smbus".
I am searching "python-smbus" for Gentoo.
The kernel configuration is already setup and ok.
Do you the know the translation
of "python-smbus" (Debian-speak)
to ??? for Gentoo?
Thank you very much in advance!
Best regards,
Meino

Hello.
Installing sys-apps/i2c-tools with `python` USE flag will install smbus
Python module so-called `python-smbus` in Debian.

build-essential is a meta-package for the tools needed to build from source, which are already there in Gentoo.
I use packages.debian.org to see what is in a package, or to see which package contains a file, then eix and educated guesswork usually takes care of the rest.

It's a metapackage to install compilation and packaging packages. So
the Gentoo equivalent is "skip" that part of the howto.
