Hi paul .. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
and everybody else .. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
I Have read a lot more on the USE function and I think I understand better how things work. |
| 29 |
Just trying to figure out how the USE function effects the ebuild compile structure .. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
for instance. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
If I have apache as a DEPEND in my ebuild, but as a apache? (>=apache ), and I assume from my reading that it means it's optional not required, and |
| 34 |
I do 'USE="-apache" emerge .ebuild' how can I specify that some ./configure option like "--with-CGI" doesn't get used at compile time ? |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Or am I understanding ebuild and USE incorreclty ? |
| 37 |
