Re: [gentoo-embedded] Emerging into SYSROOT causes packages to install in host system

[Dave Bender]

Extended report:

As I mention in my earlier email, build host is x86_64, target is x86
(specifically c3 processor).
The xmerge command is an exact duplicate of the one presented in the
gentoo embedded handbook.

Here is what I do (play by play):

export SYSROOT=/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu
export ac_cv_func_malloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_calloc_0_nonnull=yes
export ac_cv_func_realloc_0_nonnull=yes

I have added the following to SYSROOT directory:

/etc/make.conf
/etc/make.globals -> /etc/make.globals
/etc/make.profile -> /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/x86/2007.0
/etc/portage/package.keywords

Contents of /etc/make.conf

/etc/portage/package.keywords
sys-apps/baselayout ~x86
sys-apps/openrc ~x86

When I run the emerge command:

embedded # ./xmerge baselayout -vp

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies |
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy ">=sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0" have
been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- sys-apps/baselayout-2.0.0 (masked by: ~amd64 keyword)

For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or
refer to the Gentoo Handbook.
(dependency required by "sys-apps/openrc-0.2.2" [ebuild])


So baselayout appears to be masked by ~amd64 keyword, which should be
irrelevant for cross compiling.

Thanks,
Dave

Other notes:

SYSROOT is populated with a /var and /tmp directory. /var contains
further subdirectories.
