For x86-linux as well as x86-solaris, using[1] eprefix-bootstrap[2] |
| 7 |
through prefix-launcher[3] should work already. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
Although prefix-launcher itself builds for ppc-aix, sparc-solaris, |
| 10 |
hppa-hpux, ia64-hpux, x86-interix, amd64-linux (and maybe others) too, |
| 11 |
the prefix-tree has not come that far yet ;) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Why prefix-launcher and/or eprefix-bootstrap ? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
They do similar things as found in the guide[4], but more elaborate: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
prefix-launcher installs the different cmdline tools, including wget, |
| 18 |
GNU tar, GNU patch, gcc, python, bash as well as portage, but is able to |
| 19 |
patch them, which is required for some platforms. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
In the end it installs a script eprefix-bootstrap[4], which creates the |
| 22 |
fully portage-managed prefix tree. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
This is similar to what bootstrap-prefix.sh[5] is guided to do with |
| 25 |
python into $EPREFIX/tmp. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
eprefix-bootstrap then bootstraps your eprefix, including the last |
| 28 |
'emerge -e world'. |
