[gentoo-user] How to check what cause a use flag

Hi, all
Recently when I'm trying sync and upgrade the whole system with

emerge -DNnav --with-bdeps=y @system @world

I've got erlang with wxwidgets use flag. On my another gentoo box, uprading
erlang didn't build with this flag.

emerge --info shows my final use flag DOES have wxwidgets (while another
box doesn't have). So how can I find out what cause this?

Or should I provide more info ?
Thanks.

Generally speaking, for flags look in

/etc/make.conf
/etc/portage/package.use

To look at what packages have a certain flag give equery a try:

equery hasuse wxwidgets

and then

eix package

to loo at the use flag settings

I assume grep wxwidgets /etc/make.conf does not give anything on both
machines. But does eselect profile list show different profiles?

/usr/portage/profiles/ChangeLog has this entry:

16 Apr 2012; Pacho Ramos <pacho@gentoo.org>
targets/desktop/make.defaults: Enable wxwidgets by default as discussed in

Excellent point about the profile. I hadn't considered that as I
hardly think about them.

profile first, then make.conf, then package.use I guess.

You got me. It's the profile make this happen.

This virtual machine box profile is set to desktop (can't remember when)
and my another box is set to server.

Anyway, thanks guys, problem solved. :)
