emerge has no "--enable" option (you can see this in "man emerge"), and |
11 |
you don't need the -N option if you re-emerge a single package. |
12 |
If you want to set USE flags, edit /etc/make.conf (search for USE |
13 |
there). |
14 |
|
15 |
To see the USE flags for the xorg-x11 package, try |
16 |
|
17 |
emerge -av xorg-x11 |
18 |
|
19 |
(look in the man page to find out what the -a and -v options mean; after |
20 |
all it could be possible that I tell you something wrong). |

The output of that command is (here): |

The USE flags prepended with a "+" are enabled, the ones starting with |
37 |
"-" are disabled, the "*" after "+xprint" means that it's a changed USE |
38 |
flag since the last emerge of xorg-x11. |
39 |
|
40 |
bitmap-fonts, truetype-fonts and type1-fonts are all enabled here, and I |
41 |
don't have them listed in my USE flags in /etc/make.conf. They are the |
42 |
default (so some people can disable them if they want to). |

48 |
I don't know whether xorg has an "xtt" module. My xorg.conf has |
49 |
"freetype" and "type1", but no "xtt". |
